Best Route to Take Killarney - Clonsilla

yayamark

Hi all just a quick question for ye to haggle over

I want to travel by car from Killarney to Clonsilla, Dublin tomorrow.

I am playing around with the aarouteplanner which i know isnt 100% up to date.

I always travel via Limerick but am pondering a new route via Cork and having a look at the new M8.

I had to enter Urlingford as a Via on the Cork route as it wouldnt bring me that way

I dont wish to go on to the M50 so i turn off the N7 at the Grange Castle exit, Exit no. 3 I think and go into Lucan and from there into Clonsilla.

From the website there is amazingly only 1 km and 3 mins travel of a difference between the 2 routes.

Has anyone any ideas on the Cork Route or am i mad :pac:

Yes, Cork route is far superior. We went down to Killarney via Limerick and back via Cork. The difference was incredible.

Thanks from looking at that site it doesnt show the fermoy motorway which im sure will lessen the journey too.

It's all motorway (or HQDC) from roundabout after Jack Lynch tunnel all the way to Urlingford.
