    Hi folks
    Just looking for information from any daily commuters to Galway. I've been offered a job in a multi national in the Briarhill industrial estate.
    I live 12 mins outside Ennis. Do ye find this a bit of a struggle daily? I'm debating waiting for something closer. What do ye commuters think?

    Just checked there and it has the journey at approx 70km, That's very doable in fairness.

    Ya just as I thought, I heard Briarhill was a bit of a joke. Your probably talking 1 hour plus each way for me.

    It really would depend on your start time, if you're starting at 9 then you'll probably be looking to be on the road at 7.30 if you're starting at 8 then you could get away with a 7 departure time. Good news is there is it's untolled motorway for most of the distance, bad news is Galway traffic

    You could take an hour from end of motorway to briarhill/parkmore and thats if you can find somewhere to park when you finally get there.they should set up park and ride from the old Galway airport in and do away to fcuk with all the traffic lights cos they are a fukn joke shop
