getting from heuston to ballsbridge

Hey, I have an appt with the US Embassy for 9am next week. If I get a train from Cork at 5am I would arrive at 8:10am. How long would a taxi take getting from Heuston to Ballsbridge at that time? Would I be better off staying overnight instead?

50 minutes is plenty of time, even at that hour of the morning.

You could avoid sitting in traffic on the quays by getting the Luas as far as the Abbey St stop. Then get a taxi to Ballsbridge. There is a taxi rank beside the Luas stop so you won't have a hard time finding a taxi.
