    Human experience is subjective. Only you can decide whether it suits you or not.

    Depends on how important the interviews are.
    It's easily doable in a single day, assuming you are driving. 439 km can be done a lot faster now than it was even 5 years ago.

    Of course it is. If you get one of the jobs then move to that town and enjoy the difference

    You haven't given us any information which enables us to advise for your particular situation, so I am going to make some assumptions about you.

    You don't have a car so I reckon it's a pretty long walk.

    Also, you're a millionaire so you don't need the money.

    So my advice is to stay at home and continue watching Mad Men.

    If you think my assumptions are off a bit, please reply with more details so I can better advise...

    It takes 2 hours to get to Limerick. It takes less than 90 mins to get to Athlone. If you have a job already then it's up to you, if you're unemployed and not bothered travelling 2 hours for an interview I don't even know what to say.

    Ensure that you have ALL facts with you before you make the journey. I had the experience last December when I went down to Cork. It was crappy weather and the interview was a disaster. What I learned. Ensure that you have all relevant information before you go - how did telephone interview go, pay, job description etc. Only you can make a decision after this.

    If the interviews are on the same day, check out how long they're expected to be and make sure that the first one knows they cannot run late.
