    It takes 2 hours from the Red Cow Roundabout to the first roundabout outside Limerick City. You are then approx 15 - 20 minutes to the city center depending on what time of day you arrive. If you are arriving at 1pm allow 30 mins at least then

    Not being funny, but is that obeying all the speed limits?

    yeah 2 hours is about right, you'll make portlaoise in 45 minutes from the red cow alone and that's not far off half the distance, it's about 120miles

    ^ id say a little more taking traffic into consideration
    when the dual carriageway from limerick city to nenagh opens in the next year or 2 then it will be under two hours

    That's true! I hate the Dublin/Limerick bus - takes forever!
    Once it took me 6 hours!! :eek:
    But that was leaving Dublin at rush hour - never again!

    WHAT? 6 hours for that journey, thats...thats insanity. Last time I got the bus to Limerick, it seemed such a short bus journey. the time before that, it seemed an eternity. It'll always seem short now, considering I've taken the bus to Cork. Takes about 3 and half hours by bus normally, its all fine.

    Ciaranfo, I'd say the main speed traps would be after the by-passes finish, around Mountrath, Borris-in-Ossary.

    A town now consists of a pub, a restaurant, and a Tipp crystal shop?:p In all my years of staying in Birdhill, I've only ever come across cops once there, at about 3 in the morning. Although Dalys Cross could get some cops too, dangerous place alright
