    Hi folks I was thinking of heading to Roscrea hopping on to the M7 and then joining the M8 but it seems I can't do this according to aa route planner. Looking at the map this route seems a no brainer, surely it's not possible that such a major intersection has no provision for this ?

    You wouldn't touch the m7.

    You'd drive under it at roscrea and continue in to templemore then thurles and join the m8 at junction 6 beyond thurles.

    I'm not sure that would be quicker than athlone - tullamore- portlaoise- m8 though.

    Cut across to Portlaoise. You'd use the M6 for a bit, then N52 and N80, join the M7 and then M8.
