Public transport directions:

For Joyces 365 and Knocknacarra Church: Catch a 2d - Knocknacarra or 2w - Seacrest bus (see city bus details for routes and timetables). After the bus goes past the golf course (on the left), it makes a sharp turn to the right.   Get off at the first stop (just after the turn) for the supermarket. A little further along that road, the bus comes to a T-intersection.  Get off just before the intersection for the church, which is at the intersection. For the Clybaun Hotel: Catch the #33 - Knocknacarra bus (leaves from Eyre Square/Spanish Arch, see city bus details for routes and timetables). Sometime after the bus goes past Rahoon Cemetery (on the right), it makes left-hand turn into Clybaun Rd.   The hotel is at the first major roundabout on this road.

For the Rahoon Business Park, Retail Centre, Knocknacarra Business Centre, Pureskill and St John the Apostle National School:

• Catch the #34 - Cappagh Rd bus (leaves from Eyre Square, see city bus details for routes and timetables).
• Sometime after the bus goes past Rahoon Cemetery (on the right), it passes Rahoon Business Park on the left.   
• After that, it makes left-hand turn into Br.Stiofán.
• There is a bus-stop by the back entrance to the business centre part way down this road.
• Get off a the bottom of this road for PureSkill and the Retail Centre - go down the road at the left.
• Get off at the same stop, or the one after (to be confirmed which is best) for Knocknacarra National School
• ALTERNATIVE:  Catch the 5w - Rahoon bus.  Get off at the stop where the bus travels all the way around the roundabout (Bishop O'Donnell roundabout).   Walk up the Western Distributor Rd, to the next roundabout, and the places are on your right.   (This is a busy road, but does have a footpath.  It's an option if you want to use Bus Eireann instead of City Direct.)

For Cappagh Park (7):

• Catch the #33 - Knocknacarra or #34 - Cappagh Rd bus (leaves from Eyre Square/Spanish Arch, see city bus details for routes and timetables).
