 When I was in online.ie, I was coming from Drumcondra. It was usually
an hour and a half from Drumcondra, or 70 mins (give or take - usually
give) on the 50 (which is the best on to get, though not very frequent).
There are private buses that leave the virgin megastore and take 40mins as
they go direct.

 It's really horrible if you miss one...it took me three and a half hours
to get home on christmas eve - I bought a moped the week after ;)

 It's a nasty place to go to work in - three miles from the nearest shop,
one restaurant, far far away from most places...
