swords to blackrock route

tsuzmir

I'll be travelling for next 3 weeks mon to fri from swords to blackrock (neeed to be there by 8am, finished around 5pm) what's the least painful route excluding port tunnel (dont fancy paying 10 quid each way)?
m50 is much longer, but i'd imagine city centre gets mad.
cheers

Howth road and over the east link? It's handy enough in the morning but the evening is an absolute disaster, you're lucky it's only 3 weeks!

Just go note if it were me I would park at a dart station and go across, hell of a lot less painful.

Probably your easiest route if you can get parking close enough to the Dart for thr day.
But if driving I would personally M50 it, off at the Stillorgan / Dun Laoghaire exit 14, straight down Brewery Rd and you will be in Blackrock in 10 mins from there.
Everything else is stop / start traffic lights, and the Whitehall / Drumcondra bottleneck. Unless you cut out over to Fairview and East Rd to the East Link or through 5 Lamps Sheriff St, Samuel Beckett bridge and out through Ballsbridge.

+1.

Think it's about 2 euro per day at Portmarnock. Regular and reasonably predictable trains, and station to station in between 40 and 50 minutes.

Depends where in Blackrock, though.

If I was driving, I'd probably go the Drumcondra, Fairview, East Link, Sandymount route.
