    I'll be starting a job in ringsend monday week i got on short notice. Im trying to figure a route to get there in the mornings if im coming from the N4. Google maps is sending me all the way up the M50 & down through the port tunnel, which obviously isn't a option because the tunnel toll is mad high, to keep cars out id imagine.

    Id be aiming to be there for 8 say so travelling through the city about half 7. Whats the general traffic like at this stage? Roughly when is it worst?

    So i figure the options are:

    1. All the way in along the quays to the o2 & over the river.
    2. Turn south at kilmainham & all the way around the south circular.
    3. Maybe south down the m50 & off somewhere along? In the N81? Or the N11? Or even along the strand road through sandymount?

    My geography of south dublin(or any other part for that matter) is poor, but i will have a sat nav.

    If you don't turn off you'll end up in the port :)

    Along the quays and turn right on Samuel Beckett bridge before O2/east link, turn left onto Pearse St and then Ringsend Rd

    Cool is check this out so.

    I had thought about maybe getting a place to stay west of the city, like lucan or whatever, but im thinking south anywhere from sandymount to dun laoghaire might be better now. It will be right in pigeon house road ill actually be working so i thought orginally looking at google maps crossing the east link would be an option.
