    None of the ALDI stores are easy to get to by public transport at all. The nearest 3 are Rathmines, Rathfarnham, Parnell St

    Rathfarnham - no idea how to get there from Bray
    Rathmines - 145 bus to stephens green then 15 to Rathmines
    Parnell Street - 145 bus to maybe Aston quay and walk up to it

    Lidl in greystones or deansgrange are probably much easier to get to

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Thats miles away though isnt it? Probably be faster and cheaper to go straight into Tara Street and walk up to the one at the top of O Connells street would it?

    you can get a 10E train return from Dublin to Arklow and get on in bray. Last train leaves at about 8pm. You are better going into Dublin if using public transport as the ticket would be no more than €5 return. And it would be faster going to Dublin- 40-50 mins on DART and a 10-15min walk compared to 1hr + on the Arklow route plus a 20min walk and on the way back it would be uphill which wouldn't be fun if you are carrying a heavy load.
