Chapelizod Village will be closed for the summer of 2008. See below. Due to roadworks may have to go through Phoenix Park and exit at the Knockmaroon gate and drive down the hill to the club. Or if coming from Lucan drive along Strawberry Beds to the club. If you reach the Anglers Rest Pub you have gone too far.
