    OP - when it comes to your wife getting to/from Blackrock, are you aware that several buses go there too? I know that the 7 & 8 do, there may be others. I think that the no 8 may actually start in Mountjoy Sq, which would be dead handy. Getting the DART isn't her only option, although it would probably be quicker.

    Apartment in Clontarf or Ringsend would be best IMO. Ringsend being the pricier of the two

    I have lived in East Wall for the last six years and it's just grand. Have two young boys and I walk the dog in the late evening without ever feeling unsafe. I have found that a lot of the bad rep for the area is down to people's experience some 10-15 years back. Lots has changed, it's becoming more a kind of an artist/hipster type of place, probably because it being a relatively cheap area that is still close to town. I used to work in East Point Business park for years and you walk there in 10 min. You have a large Aldi and planning permission granted for a Lidl across the road.
    There's also a new Italian that is very good (Il Soreno) and you are close to both Clontarf and Fairview where there's some more nice restaurants and pubs.
