    If you feel that unsure, you could get the train and the number 5 bus from station to UCC.

    I would but the last train on Sunday leaves before we're finished! I'm sure I'll be fine I just don't like being that annoying person on the road who doesn't know where they're going, but sure I can use my indicators which is more than most. Off to check the auld oil and water! ;)

    Motorway interchange there soon :)

    Still think its crazy at the moment... and confusing for tourists :D You come off the motorway from Dublin, going to the countrys second city, and go round a dirty old roundabout onto dodgy S2 roads through some towns......

    No, (a) buy a map (b) follow the signs.

    on the subject of the Portlaise turn off....why is that lane blocked off that gives direct access to the N8?

    The County Council (and/or their agents) fecked up at the planning stage, and the feck-up got laid down in concrete and asphalt before anyone noticed.
    Basically, they left no road access for the owners of the fields beside that unused slip road, other than the slip road itself.
    I have never been able to get a satisfactory answer to why they don't CPO a sliver of land to create a field access lane to these fields, and open the slip road to the public.

    That has puzzled me for for years. Now I know. Thanks. :)
