A few nice business banking images I found:
ALONG THE BANKS OF THE DODDER (Between Clonskeagh and Milltown)

Clonskeagh or Clonskea (Irish: Cluain Sceach, meaning "meadow of the whitethorn"), is a southern suburb of Dublin, Ireland. The district straddles the River Dodder.
Whilst located fully within the county of Dublin, Clonskeagh lies partially within the administrative area of Dublin City Council but mostly in that of Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown. Roebuck Road defines the southernmost end of Clonskeagh; this area is sometimes known as Roebuck and occasionally considered to be part of Windy Arbour. However, most residents of Roebuck consider themselves to live in Clonskeagh.
Clonskeagh is primarily a residential area, developed in the early decades of the 20th Century. It has a small village green with a few local shops, but without a main centre. The area is principally defined by the Clonskeagh Road and its extension into Roebuck Road, which spans its length. The northern end of the Clonskeagh Road at the junction with Eglinton Road / Milltown Road separates it from Ranelagh to the north; the campus of University College Dublin at Belfield is to the east; Goatstown and Dundrum to the south. To the west is Windy Arbour, but there is no clear point at which the border might be defined.
There is a mid 20th century Catholic church on Bird Avenue, and the Islamic Cultural Centre and primary school is on Roebuck Road. The former fever hospital at Clonskeagh Hospital is now a long-term care facility for the elderly.
The population of Clonskeagh is a mixture of long-established families and older people, university students, and some Muslim immigrants, mainly from the Persian Gulf States. Other Muslim children attending the Islamic School arrive by bus from further afield.

St. Kilian's Deutsche Schule and the Lycée Française d'Irlande share a Eurocampus at the end of Roebuck Road, offering private, fee-paying preschool (approximately 3.500 Euros per annum) primary and secondary school in a multicultural and multilingual environment unique to Ireland.
The first ever All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final was held in Elm Park, Clonskeagh, one of the features of the area, on April 29th 1888 on the ground of St. Benburb's Football Club.
Clonskeagh is also home to a range of businesses, including offices of eircom and Vodafone and the headquarters of companies such as Philips, Ericsson and Unisys in Ireland. It also has a number of pubs and shops.

Hill climbing is serious business...
Image by Paul_Blakeman
Vicki means business- This hill will not defeat her! halfway up a long hill on ncn72 (MapMyRide says a "Cat 3") on her Scott 40 Sportster hybrid with 700x35c Schwable's. Panniers are huge 42L Basils, and can be used as a small house if necessary. Worked well on the Coast to Coast route we picked, although we took far too much food. Good times!
