If you use googlemaps or a sat nav, you can choose no motorways. You can get there without going on a motorway, just have to head further North, and then come down the road that its actually on, from Kilshane Cross.

If you head up out of town on the N2, you are on the motorway for about a minute, it really isn't much at all, and it isn't actually a motorway at that point, just a dual carriageway.

I drive that way all the time! All the way down Griffith ave until you get to the lights with the scout hall/wooden thing on the right - turn left here, right at the next lights, right at the bottom of the hill and it's a straight line up under the M50 and onto the N2 for 1 min to the turn off at the sign for Coldwinters. Be careful on the N1 when you're going under the bridge by Finglas Village (2 mins after Tesco and Burgerking on the left) because it's a speed trap!
