Driving to Killarney from Dublin -Best Route.

[BOXtheFOX]

If I am driving to Killarney from Dublin which is the quickest route. Is it via Limerick or Cork or some other route? Forget about the scenic element of the trip.

Via Limerick, stick to main route, motorway most of the way and from Limerick on road quite good through Newcastlewest/Abbeyfeale etc. Worst bit is through Adare if you hit it the wrong time as in anything from about 4 p.m. onwards.

Defo go Via Limerick, at least a half hour saving and better roads than going via Michelstown.

This other thread concerns Kenmare but some of the points are relevant. Dublin to Kenmare quickest route driving?

I would go via Limerick-Adare-NCW-Abbeyfeal-CastleIsland (bypassed) Farranfore.

Adare can be a nightmare at school pickup times and any afternoon when there is a wedding on. Similar situation at NCW & Abbeyfeale.
