Hey - google maps sends me around the custom's house, but i can distinctly see on street view cars just continuing straight and turning right onto this bridge... is this still possible?

Street view doesn't use the most up-to-date pictures It's years old.

Is it possible to go up Dolier St, take Townsend street and follow that street all the way to Lombard Street in a car in the mornings?

In a car, you can no longer turn from Bachelors Walk to O'Connell Bridge.

From where would you be coming from to get to D'Olier St?

Bachelors Walk.

I thought that you just can't turn right onto Eden Quay (effectively meaning no u-turn back on opposite side of quays) but the other movements were the same?

No, there is no right turn from Bachelor's Walk to O'Connell Bridge anymore for traffic except buses and taxis.

You have to continue along Eden Quay, left onto Beresford Place, around the back of the Custom House and across the Matt Talbot Bridge and then use either Moss St or Lombard St East.

This takes 20-30 minutes at peak hours. Would one recommend going the Christchurch way to get to Lombard Street instead?

You're forgetting the College Green bus gate.

Via Christchurch, you'll have to go up Patrick St, and then across via Kevin St, Cuffe St, St Stephen's Green South and East, Merrion Row and then Merrion St, Merrion Square South and East to get to that area.

There aren't any quick routes anymore unless you use public transport.

What's your starting point? You're just going to have to accept that it's going to take a while in a private car to do that journey.
