    Portlaoise to Carlow (N80) is about 45 mins, Carlow to Waterford, about another 45.

    Ever heard of google maps? There is no need to go anywhere near Carlow, its the wrong direction. 1 hour 10. Abbeyleix, Ballyragget, Kilkenny, then onto the M9 through to Waterford

    Do this fairly regularly. Can get down in less then an hour and 10 though, id have said about 50sh mins.

    Portloaise -> Abbeyleix -> Durrow -> Ballyragget -> Kilkenny -> Link Road to M9 to Waterford (about 20sh mins)

    Going to Carlow is not the route to go.

    No doubt the Kilkenny route is quicker but 50 minutes is very ambitious taking into account the speed limits.

    Its about 20/25 minutes to the far side of Kilkenny and another 30ish miles to Port Laoise from there on poorer quality roads which will realistically take about 40/45 minutes. I would say an hour to an hour and ten is a realistic estimate and 50 minutes if you are in a rush and hammering it

    Never taken me that long, nor the girlfriend, and shes traveled that route for longer then me! Maybe its just because we are used to it?!

    Plus you no longer need to travel the full length of the ORR in Kilkenny or go through the town, the motorway now exits so you connect not far from the Durrow road. :)
