Directions to get there on foot or by bicycle:
If coming from O’Connel Bridge keep walking north until you get to the Spire, then turn right into North Earl Street which changes its name to Talbot Street at the crossing with Marlborough Street. Keep walking for 500 meters. Once you cross Gardiner Street you will see a little shop called ValuMart on the right hand side. The school is above that shop. If you cycle – there is a Dublinbikes station in Talbot Street – 30 meters from the school, in front of the SuperValue, and regular bicycle stands next to it, so you can lock your bicycle there.
