Hi Sully,
I grew up in Patrickswell, my family still live there and I will probably move back there in the near future as I really like the place. As you may know, they built a by-pass a few years ago, so the traffic issue has been sorted. The old road to the city is now a lot quieter. It still has a country feel and there is a good strong community there, but at the same time you have all the amenities of the city on your doorstep.
Where exactly is the house that you are looking at? If you want to ask me anything specific, then you can post it here or pm me. I'll be glad to help.
JT.
