    Hi,

    Just wondering if anyone has any experience of commuting from Maynooth to Cherrywood/Sandyford area (or similar) by car? The time of the departure is somewhat flexible as the job has flexi-time, so would have to be there between 7:30 & 10. Just wondering how long it would take both ways, when leaving at a time which would result in the shortest possible journey time (in the morning) and coming home during rush hour.

    Dont know specifically how long to drive it, but i'd say the earlier you leave the better. While the M50 isn't too bad these days, the N4 at Lucan is pretty slow with the roadworks at the new overpass.
    An alternative is to get a 66x to Stephen's Green & Luas to Cheerywood which would be about 90min I'd say

    FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.

    You don't have to take a 'smart' meter if you don't want one, opt-out is available.

    Buy drinks in 3L or bigger plastic bottles or glass bottles to avoid the DRS fee.

    Thanks Buffman, don't think I'd go with the public transport option though, not at least until they extend the Luas to Cherrywood

    depends on the gobsh1tes on the m50 whether they test each others bumpers if i'm late or not :rolleyes:
