    Does Dublin 1 count? Has Busáras and Connolly, and whilst both kips, they have Buses and Trains.

    Fingal should also get a mention, due to the Airport.

    I dont like Dublin.

    It's my favourite place because everytime I'm there I'm getting out of Dublin. Ha

    Castleknock, Killiney, Dalkey, Chapelizod and Stoneybatter are not on the list. All of them would be way ahead of most of the options.

    tbh most of dublin is a cesspit of crime, congestion and junkies.
    there's only a few places worth living in, but you'll have to traverse the filth and grime in any case.

    Foxrock. the architecture of the houses have so much history I'd love to learn more about how these houses came about. Was driving through Foxrock the other day and the differences in architecture are huge (not the modern developments)- from Georgian to art deco 30's - don't know anything about the history of the area but imagine it's quite interesting in terms of how/why it came about.

    Am I right in assuming it has no pub?

    Nonsense. City centre has problems but almost all the surrounding suburbs are amazing places to live.

    The Magic Carpet would be the local but yes, on the very outskirts of Foxrock. not in the village itself. I think there's a restaurant or two in the village itself that would serve booze with food.

    Definitely not all of Dublin is bad. Most of the south east of the city centre and south eastern suburbs are so lovely and pleasure to be in or live in, if the whole city was more like it it would be one of the worlds nicest cities

    Fact: it's larger than Monaco, Vatican City, and five times as big as Hyde Park.

    We should build loads of skyscrapers on it.
