    I made it from Julianstown to Rush once undertaking the entire way. It wasn't intentional. Every zombie was sitting in Lane 2 at about 70 mph. Nuts carry on!

    Louth? I agree with you but that's not Louth.

    Actually whilst we're slagging Irish driving habits what's the story with half the country putting their front foglights on - regardless of a lack of fog? Just the front ones mind. :confused:

    So true

    6km commute each way. 12 minutes on a bad day. :)

    Uhhhhhhhh, So you're one of them.

    The majority of people I would be referring to would be those coming from the Drogheda direction. The commuter town that it has become. The likes of Grange Rath, Deepforde, Five Oaks..... working your way up the Dublin road. That's Louth. Unless you can think of another way for these people to get onto the Motorway.

    Forgive me of course if the occasional Meath person slips into my tongue in cheek comment.....

    Drogheda (Dublin Road side) - Tallaght - Drogheda. 62km each way so 124km round trip (77 miles).

    Leave at around 06.40 in the morning and it takes about an hour via M1/M50. Because of the M1 Roadworks I'm going M50/M2/N2, Kilmoon Cross, through Duleek and turn at the cement factory on the way back.. Usually about an hour, give or take 10 mins on the way home, leaving Tallaght at 17.30.

    Roughly 12 hours from leaving in the morning to getting home in the evening. Doesn't leave much time to do anything when you get home, but it's a better commute than when I was working in Sandyford!

    The only time I put foglights on when it ain't foggy, is when some gobsh1te drives right up behind me with his headlights on and leaves them on....

    sounds similar-ish to myself... €4 on tolls a day?!

    I had to attend a course for 5 days in Sandyford a few years back when they were working on the M50 third lane. Getting there and back was a complete nightmare. I tried train, bus and car and it still took me around 3 hours one way. Leaving at 06:40 I was still late most days.
