    Have vague memories of travelling this route years ago. If memory serves, I went via Kilkenny, Roscrea, Birr, Portumna and Loughrea to Oranmore. As far as I recall, the road from Kilkenny to Loughrea was bloody awful. IS it still as bad or would anyone have any suggestions to go a better way. was thinking of going via Limerick and up the motorway but that is 40 min longer according to Google maps. Thks

    As above if going off peak. If you're going to hit M50 anywhere near rush hour then go Enniscorthy -Carlow-Portlaoise-Tullamore then onto the M6 at Kilbeggan.

    thats what I did. Some dozy feckin inconsiderate drivers on that route. One lad held up I'd say close on half km by not pulling in. Speed varied between 55kmph and 90 depending on whether someone was overtaking him or not. :mad:
