Adelphi Quay wouldn't be too bad, a friend of mine lived there. I used to live in Canada Square and it was fine, especially if you are in your twenties etc.

I'll put it this way, I lived in all those areas while in my 20's and they were great, then I lived in John's Park, had a family so moved to the Dunmore Road and wouldn't move back to any of them if I could help it. That's not a knock on John's Park by the way, the house was just too small for our needs. Looking at Google Maps, there are no houses on Park Road (the road between the park and De La Salle College) but if you hated traffic that area gets clogged at peak times because of all the schools. Adelphi Quay always looked nicer to me than Scotch Quay and Canada Sq., but I'm sure some of the same problems might occur, like late parties, dampness, crap storage heating. To be honest, and I know I'm generalising but anywhere down around the bridge like James Street and Mary Street I always avoided renting in because Irish seems to be a minority there, a few dodgy characters around at night and drunks and scumbags around during the day looking for money for bus fares etc. Don't know much about Wellington Square but it's central and in off the main road so could be worth a look. Hope this helps!

Ideally you need an estate, you kids will make friends and want to visit. I'd suggest somewhere in Tramore, most of the estates are fine and you'll find plenty for the kids to do.

Won't be making firm decision about moving for about 2 weeks anyway. A 2 bed place would suffice but fast broadband is a must. I know UPC is available pretty much all over the city and that would be ideal, but would be concerned that that's not out in Tramore. Even efibre would be lovely. Alls I'm lookin for is a nice neighborhood, €650 a month or less and good broadband. Everything else should look after itself.
