Yep the AA site was my first port of call - their route finder is a great job.
However in this case if I opt to avoid motorways it puts me through the city center which may be just as bad if not worse than the M50 at that hour of the morning.
What I was really looking for is a nice handy route from the M1/M50 interchange (or further north from it) through the country and suburbs which would get me to Tallaght hospital.
Would the train to Connolly and then Luas to Tallaght be an easier option?
I don't see much of an alternative to the M50...it shouldn't be that bad. If your appoinment was at 9 it'd be worse.

Definitely a good idea. The parking in the hospital is expensive and not great - very busy. Max 3 hour stay in nearby Square. More relaxed on train/luas.
Well if I wanted to get from ardee to tallagh I'd come down the N2 cut across by fairy house to N3 turn left, take the next right into dunboyne straight at lights and head for maynooth, when I'd meet carton demese wall I'd turn left, take next right up at the back of Intel to the T, turn left and right at Intel roundabout over to M4 interchange, OH Forget it ,take the train.
You'll need to be in Drogheda station by 7.30 or so to be guaranteed parking. Trains from Drogheda at 7.28am and 7.40am which will get to Connolly by 8.30am or thereabouts.
