Eriú Community College is currently located on an interim basis in modular accommodation in Hansfield, Dublin 15, pending a move to their permanent location in Hollywoodrath in the Mulhuddart_Tyrellstown_D15 school planning area.

Following communications with the department, the patron body and school are making the necessary arrangements for the provision of bus transport for students attending the school who live in the Mulhuddart_Tyrellstown_D15 school planning area. The Department received the request and necessary information from the school and its patron body on the 24th February and this request was approved. The bus service commenced operation on Monday 2nd March.

It is important to note that this service is outside of the Department’s normal School Transport Scheme and is focused solely on facilitating those students attending Eriú Community College at its current interim location who are living in the Tyrellstown School Planning Area. This service will cease when Eriú Community College is relocated to its permanent school building in Hollywoodrath.
