low the beach past Salthill, and take a right on Threadneedle Road just before the beach's
high diving board—it's on your left, 200 yards up, next to the Tennis Club. By bus, take
#401 (3/hour, €1.65) from Eyre Square (picks up on the opposite side of square from the
Skeffington Arms pub). Get off at the bus stop right across the street.
