Works for me. Just enter Dublin & Waterford. Head out the N7 & follows the directions from AA.Quote:

Try the RAC or Google Maps
Do ye know if ya have to go through Kilkenny to get to Waterford from M50?
Don`t think so, zoom in on the map.
Ok sound. Just checked route on RAC website and they said about entering Kilkenny. We're trying to avoid that tomorrow due to heavy roadworks and some arts festival, should be busy.Quote:

I thought googlemaps gave exact road directions.
AA isn't giving a route from Lucan to City centre.
Does this link work for you?
Yeah it does, is that for entering the M50 at Lucan?:confused:Quote:

Well the bus is going from Sligo-Lucan-Waterford, just to avoid Kilkenny, all because of roadworks:DQuote:

you dont need to go via kilkenny though if you go m50. It will be signposted anyhow. Have you not left sligo county and environs before?!?! :D
BTW if you are looking for general directiongs major roads etc use google. IF not DONT! I cant stress that enough.
It's the guy running the bus that wants directions, not me:pQuote:

You don't have to go into Kilkenny City going to Waterford.
Turn left onto N9 at Paulstown and go via Gowran.
Yeah I used AA's directions in the end and that's the way they suggested.Quote:

Instead, I followed the directions which added a few KMs on to my trip via Ballsbridge D4 in a circle which added over half an hour to my trip.
Also, I printed directions to Adare, Co Limerick for my Dad which sent him through Limerick City as the AA site wasn't familiar with the Limerick By Pass dual carraigeway :mad:
For what its worth last time I travelled to Waterford we went down the N11 to New Ross (nice new road there...) and then turned for Waterford. Got there in about 3 hours on a poxy rainy friday evening with oxygen traffic holding up the N7
Correct, that's actually the main road (i.e. not a bypass or shortcut or anything), though from there onwards you wouldn't think it.Quote:
