Re Stannaway Road
I completely agree with Deco. I live at the Sundrive end of this Road, a stones throw from Kimmage Shopping Centre. It is a very quiet Road, with no trouble or unpleasant incidents. Traffic can be heavy for a half an hour around 9 am or 6pm, but where in Dublin is traffic free. The houses here are very solidly built, east to heat, and have large gardens. Go for an end of terrace house if buying or renting. As to whether the correct address is Kimmage, or Crumlin, is purely acedemic - I would certainly prefer to walk to the Kimmage Shopping Centre than to Crumlin Shopping Centre distance wise it is much shorter to buy a postage stamp, although I believe Stannaway Road is served by Crumlin post office.
