How to get here
We train in the hall of Our Lady's National School Ballinteer,
which is located on Ballinteer Avenue beside St John The Evangelist
Church. If you are coming from the M50, take the Ballinteer exit and go
straight through the first roundabout. When you come to the second
roundabout (with Wesley College on the corner), take a left up
Ballinteer Avenue. Head straight up this road, you will pass a row of
shops on your left (and a pub called "The Coach House"). Continue on up
the road and you will pass Superquinn on your right. Take the right
turn after Superquinn at traffic lights (just before the church). The
hall is the next left turn. We train in Our Lady's hall (the one
attached to the school, beside the school yard). There is another hall
(just as you come in, with the grass in front of it), but this is
actually the Ballinteer Scout Den.
Ballinteer is serviced by the following bus routes:
14, 14a, 16, 16a, 44, 44b, 48a, 75, 116, 161
