Good primary schools

    Hi, my family and I are considering a move to Ireland. We need to be within an hours drive of an airport-ideally Dublin I think-for the purpose of my husbands work.
    We have 2 children, a 6 and 2 year old.
    We are looking for somewhere with good schools, safe area and nice community feel.
    I know every place has its good and bad areas but some rough pointers would be really helpful to start us off.
    We'd be looking for a 3 bed house (4 if we can stretch the budget) which we haven't set in stone so don't let that rule suggestions for now.
    Many thanks for any input :-)
    If it makes any difference I don't drive as of yet but hopefully that can change.

    What do you define as a "good"school?

    it depends what type of area you want to be in. if Dublin airport is your focus do you want to be in suburban dublin or a commuter town that your husband can make his way from? if dublin then some obvious areas are Malahide , Howth , Sutton and Clontarf and on the southside Sandymount Booterstown and Blackrock as there is quick access to the airport from here.

    Drogheda, Swords, Maynooth are all within a good distance of Dublin airport with a variety of schools to offer.

    Pretty much anywhere in Dublin is within 1 hours drive of the airport. I'd suggest you check out property prices on myhome.ie or daft.ie to narrow down possible locations, and then start looking at schools after that.
