    The Bus Eireann timetable for that trip is at:

    They do err on the side of caution by allowing 1 hour 10 mins at Limerick rather than 10 minutes for the connection between buses.

    The full timetable for Galway-Limerick services is at:

    No you won't ;). At a guess, I'd say you're a student about to start studying in Galway. You might be able to travel via public transport every week until Christmas, but you'll eventually get fed up with it and simultaneously discover that Galway is not Outer Mongolia and stay an odd weekend :).

    If you do decide to go via Dublin, note that there are three bus services going from Dublin to Galway- Bus Eireann, GoBus and Citylink. GoBus is non-stop and uses the motorway.

    If you do decide to go via Dublin, try and by-pass the city centre by changing at Dublin airport instead. (I have no idea if this works for Waterford-Dublin, but it's a good time-saver for people going to/from elsewhere).
