Red Cow to Ennis - M7

Is this an uninterrupted motorway run all the way or am I likely to hit any slow spots (once I get out of Dublin)? On Google Maps it looks like motorway all the way, I can't see any secondary roads. Would you do it in less than 2.5 hrs under normal conditions?

The first 20km are dual carriageway, not motorway and there are another 20km from Limerick to Shannon. So 80-100 km/h, not 120 km/h.

2.5 hours should be OK, but be aware of the works at Newlands Cross - avoid if possible. At rush hour, Dublin-Newbridge can be congested.

I do this trip most weekends - 2-2.25 hrs is about right in normal conditions and assuming no pit stops.
