2021. Transport Liffey Valley is served by Dublin Bus and Go-Ahead Ireland routes C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, P29, L51, L53, X25, X26, X27, X28, X30, X31, X32, 26, G2, 76 and 76a. On the 19th of February 2023, a brand new 'Bus Plaza' opened serving routes G2, 26, 76, 76a, L51 and L53. It is located 100 feet from the front entrance of the shopping centre and is part of the BusConnects programme. Note that the C-routes, P29 and X-routes do not come to the actual shopping centre, rather to stops on the N4 which is linked to the centre via footbridge. Planning impropriety For two decades an actual "town centre" had been planned in a central location to serve the Lucan, Clondalkin and Palmerstown areas. But Liffey Valley was built to the northeastern extremity of the area it was originally planned to serve. This meant, as noted by Jerry Barnes, chairman of the Royal Town Planning Institute, that the residents of Lucan, Clondalkin and Palmerstown "have been left for 20 years without an appropriately centrally located town centre which is easily accessible to all. This has very serious long-term implications for thousands of people". Thirty Dublin councillors were investigated by the Mahon Tribunal over allegations about accepting bribes relating to the rezoning of land in Quarryvale. Seán Ardagh was named in the tribunal's report as having received contributions from lobbyist Frank Dunlop and developer Owen O’Callaghan, and the report names other councillors as "hopelessly compromised" due to their associations with the project.
