    Give yourself at least an hour, the traffic is not very heavy but crashes etc can cause delays

    I regularly go from Swords to Sandyford for a ten am start and an hour is fine usually

    Traffic is usually heavy but moving. However as Stheno said, allow time in case of a crash (which happens regularly enough). Once in Dundrum, you can always park up and have a coffee, if you're early.

    Traffic will be busy.

    Getting off the M50 at Dundrum/Sandyford can be difficult in the morning.

    Schools finished on Friday, so there will likely be a shift in traffic patterns.

    For an interview, aim to be there for 9am and go for a coffee if you are early.

    Traffic won't be busy, it's tailed off each week for the last three weeks and as all schools are off it'll be lighter again on Monday

    Unless its wet of course

    And don't bother getting into lane 3 ( overtaking lane ) . You'll be stuck behind some gimp of a lane hogger the whole way !

    There are some crazy roundabouts out Dundrum way OP. Drivers can do all kinds of crazy things as they enter and exit them. So put your phone and your lip stick and your cups of coffee away, and don't be doing anything that could distract you from paying 110% attention to them. Not that you wouldn't of course ! :D

    Nah, just keep your wits about you & you'll be grand. Some people who are going to the shopping centre for the first time, can arrive unprepared for how busy the approach roads and roundabouts can be. So just keep your eyes open and you'll be fine. Forewarned is forearmed, right?

    Btw, the Dundrum car park is effing HUGE. Make note of where you park if you don't want to be wandering around for hours later trying to find your car. I know that sounds really obvious, but you'll know what I mean when you get there. Give yourself an additional 15 mins to find a parking space, stash your car, and trek to wherever your interview is. The shopping centre is massive too. Best of luck to you. :)
