So why don't you just get a job in Enfield or move to Dublin City. I can't understand why people travel more than an hour a day to work.

Athlone to Tallaght, 1:30 - 1:50 depending on traffic. In answer to the Q above, I Don't want to live in Dublin but would jump at a job in Athlone, 'till then I must commute.

Drumcondra to IFSC.
5 minutes on a motorbike.
In fact it takes me longer to put on my waterproof gear and unlock all my security chains then it takes to drive to work.

Commuting on two wheels rules!

Cheap tax, use feck all fuel and you get to use the bus lanes on the sly

I go to college in DCU and live in Blackrock. About 2 hours on average...

Takes me about a minute or two in the car. I haven't timed it walking yet....

The better value for money houses in the middle of nowhere show their cost eventually.

It is a trade off, i knew that when i moved to portlaoise.
BUT i have the mortgage paid in 9 years.

I drove in this morning and it took 1hour and five (at 7.30 am) to get to where i work now in celbridge. Some 50 miles.

I would liek to use the trains but they are so bad from celbridge to Portlaoise in the evenings that, even though i live 1 milee from the trains station i have to drive to Kildare to get a train.
PLUS in teh morning they delay everything becase of the bloody cork intercity gets priority and never runs on time
Grrrrr rant

<1 min 90% of the time as I work out of my home office. The other 10% I go to the office which is about 15 minutes or I have to get on a plane for a business trip for a few days.
