Sandford Parish Church is located at the opposite end of the village (i.e. turn right when exiting the Luas station and walk through the village towards Clonskeagh). It is approximately 10 mins at a fast walking pace. The church is on the right-hand side, almost directly opposite Malborough Road, and just past Sandford Parish School.
