If however you prefer amall-style shopping experience, then why not stop off at the LiffeyValley shopping centre, one of Ireland’s leading shoppingdestinations.

Small village. Great to see both male and female volunteers planting and looking after the flower beds in the village. Caesar salad great in the Bridge restaurant. Needs a new sign, current sign doesn't drive you in...
