The scheme is being built on the last undeveloped site in the Ballydowd Manor residential estate, built by McGreevey's around 10 years ago. It has a good location in the older part of Lucan village and is within the catchment area of the old Lucan parish of St Mary's and is a 10-minute walk from Lucan village.
