    Driving the main problem is from Ballymun to Blanchardstown, but from Lissenhall south it will be busy. I imagine starting off at 7am and then seeing how well that works out.

    Consider train to Connolly and Luas to Red Cow. Rail + Luas tickets are available. Four trains arriv ein Connolly before 8am and travel time should be about 30-35 minutes to Red Cow. Note the Luas Docklands extension is opening next week and fewer trams will use Connolly, but you can still use Busáras stop.

    Before the office moved I used to do drogheda to nass road. when I was to be in at 9 i would have to leave at half seven and get in on average about 5 mins early. Sometimes later dependeing on if theres a crash.

    Consider going via ashbourne/N2 on to the m50 that way, you beat all the traffic at the m50 interchange and all that ****e just south of swords

    An hour will be more than enough in the morning - provided there are no accidents, particularly on the M1...these happen frequently because most users of this road have no idea how to drive on a motorway. The evening should be the same, although it should improve when the M1/M50 interchange is fully up and running.

    That's my experience of doing a similar route for 9-5 hours.

    ps watch out for GATSO vans on M50 SB between J7 and J9 and on the R110 (Naas Rd) between M50 and Long Mile Road both directions :D
