seems to me like living in Lucan means 100% car-dependency, and possibly a two car situ per family?
Hope I am not sounding too harsh, but would not consider Lucan a great place to live, live off griffeen avenue, the 25a bus stop is a 15 minute walk away, the local pub the penny hill is at least a 30 mins away plus the traffic is soul destroying and the local primary school Archbishop Ryan is a 25min walk. Its a complete concrete jungle.

if you ask most people living in Lucan do they intend to be there in 5 years time they will answer no.
Sorry after reading the last two posts, you would have to question how many people have been in lucan in the last 6-8 months, or even 2 years!
Say there is no faclities in lucan, that person hasnt a clue, more facilities there than most areas of dublin.
Enlighten me then please. What great facilities has Lucan. As far as I know population at present is 30,000 which makes it one of the most populated towns in Ireland. With completion of Adamstown, Lucans population will be 50,000 so the size of Waterford City. My point is that for its size it has very few facilities
right Nodser!
We have 2 golf courses, liffey valley, lidl, aldi, two big parks, tennis courts, astro pitch with another 2 on the way, running track, skate boarding area, gaa pitches and soccer pitches in the park. gyms, hair dressers, medical centre, bookies, finnstown hotel which has a nice restaurant, another 2 pubs, cinema in liffey valley, centra, superquinn, library, good bus service.
Any answer to these?
so nodser where would u recommend the poster lives that has all the facilities you feel lucan is missing? not much help to the poster to put somewhere down without offering alternatives
Blueberry do you currently commute into town every day from lucan?
I get the bus at 7.40 and am at my desk in work before 8.30. I get the 6 o clock bus home every evening and am home around 6.45.
Everyone has different opinions on what they like/dislike about where they live
you cannot say commuting to town by bus (which is what the poster said her husband would be doing) from lucan is bad.
DonKing is obviously very happy there but if you ask most people living in Lucan do they intend to be there in 5 years time they will answer no. Traffic is a huge oproblem and you need a car to have any quality of life.
planning corruption which led to the concrete hell that is the newer part of the town
