EDT lessons on Irishtown and Strand Road
Sean Moore Road, Strand Road, and the tight turns off Irishtown Road. Every EDT lesson uses real local roads.
L1-2: Controls and Positioning
Beach Road is the starting point. Quiet, residential, with gentle speed ramps that teach smooth pedal work from lesson one. Mirror checks and road positioning are set before you move onto the busier roads nearby.
Learn about EDTL3-4: Direction Changes on Irishtown Road
Irishtown Road introduces the challenge of constant oncoming traffic in a tight space. Lessons three and four drill turning left and right at Church Avenue and Leahy's Terrace, where sightlines are blocked by parked vans and signal timing matters.
EDT detailsL5-6: Complex Positioning at Sean Moore Road
Sean Moore Road and its junction with Strand Road is an unusual layout that confuses new drivers. Your instructor spends two lessons on approach position, right-of-way, and the mix of large vehicles and cyclists on the Poolbeg approach.
Test preparationL7-8: Sharing Road Space on Strand Road
Strand Road is the busiest and most open road in the area. Pedestrian crossings are frequent, the speed drops and rises between sections, and the coastal light can make hazards harder to spot. Lessons seven and eight build your scanning and anticipation.
Test preparationL9-10: Speed and Dual Road Awareness
By lesson nine you are covering the full route from Irishtown Road out along Sean Moore Road and back via Strand Road at speed. Lane discipline, mirror checks at higher speeds, and overtaking parked cyclists on the wide sections are all practised.

The route from Irishtown towards Raheny Test Centre passes through Sandymount and Merrion. Lessons eleven and twelve run that journey in daylight and dusk conditions so the road is familiar before test day. Calm, consistent, no surprises.

Irishtown Road is narrow and the parked cars on both sides make it feel narrower still. Your first lessons use this road to teach gap judgment and the rhythm of yielding to oncoming traffic. Your instructor meets you at the Irishtown Nature Park car park off Sean Moore Road, where there is space to start in comfort.
Sean Moore Road is wide and takes you towards the Poolbeg peninsula. Container trucks from the port mix with joggers and cyclists, and the junctions are unusual. Learning to read that mix early is something that shows up clearly on test day.
Strand Road gives you open coastal driving with consistent pedestrian hazards. Families cross to Sandymount Strand constantly in good weather, and the road drops from a 50 zone to 30 near the crossings. Anticipating those stops is a skill your instructor builds deliberately.
Beach Road and Church Avenue round out the local picture. Tight turns, parked vans, and limited visibility at junctions teach spatial awareness in a low-pressure setting.
Female instructors are available. Your test is at Raheny Test Centre, 23 minutes from Irishtown Road. Manual from €53.27 per lesson. Six lessons at €52.50 each. 12-lesson EDT €587.95. Automatic single €61.41, EDT auto €659.24. Pretest manual €183.63, auto €193.81.
