    Long shot..

    Possibility of a job between St Margaret's and Toberburr in the coming weeks. I don't drive which is the big problem.

    I know there's a very infrequent 40B from town but it doesn't exactly suit. I'd be coming from Clare Hall so the only way seems to be a 1 hour 17a more or less first bus to meet a 40b in Finglas. The job is 9-4, I'm trying to weigh up if the job in remote place that gives security is worth turning a 9-4 job into a 6-6 day or to wait for something better.

    There's hardly any local bus, car shares, mini buses by companies etc, or other buses within a reasonable walking distance? I can't find concrete costs for a taxi, to airport/swords seems about 12€ each way but it wouldn't be viable regularly financially wise

    Your choices are straightforward then.

    1. Work around the 40b schedule.
    2. Pay for a taxi
    3. Arrange a lift through your new colleagues
    4. Cycle
    5. Learn to drive and buy a car.
    6. Refuse the job.
