    Do it all the time, straight down the n7, take a right after the yellow bridge pub(5 mile after nenagh bypass) heading for ballina/killaloe, come in to limerick on the ennis side, and straight out the ennis road and head on to kilkee - no traffic, you'll be there in 3 - 3 and half hours tops.

    when you take the right turn towrds ballina/killaloe where do you go to get onto the ennis side of limerick?

    would you not be better off continuing on through killaloe straight to ennis?

    just wondering as any improvements on my route would be useful!
