Artane

The Artane group meets on Monday lunchtimes at 1pm at the Oratory of the Resurrection on Kilmore Road, Dublin 5. A midday slot like this suits people who are free during the day rather than in the evening, and it gives residents of Artane and the surrounding area a local option close to home. As a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, it is intended for people who have a desire to stop drinking, rather than family members or professionals hoping to observe. There is no charge to attend and no need to book a place beforehand. The Oratory is also used for the group's other meetings later in the week, so it becomes a familiar venue for anyone attending regularly. Newcomers are welcome to arrive shortly before 1pm on Monday to introduce themselves before the meeting starts.
