    Directions/Route Planner

    AA Route planner not working for me. Looking for directions from M50 at Lucan to Waterford ASAP. Anyone know any other route planner sites which cover Ireland?

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

    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.

    I thought googlemaps gave exact road directions.

    AA isn't giving a route from Lucan to City centre.
    Does this link work for you?

    You go via Kilkenny or you go via Wicklow on the N11 on the coast. There is a ring road around Kilkenny.

    Well I wouldn't start in Lucan

    I would guess via Kilkenny but no personal experience recently. Try the via option on AA Routeplanner.

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

    sligoman i would go down via laois if i were you, dont go as faras dublin.

    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?!?!

    BTW if you are looking for general directiongs major roads etc use google. IF not DONT! I cant stress that enough.

    Why don't you do it old fashioned and get out the roadmaps. Of course, if you're REALLY stuck you could take the M50 out to Cherrywood and then the M11 down to Wexford.

    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.

    Thanks all, appreciate it!

    Don't over-depend on the AA website, Sligoman.

    I printed off directions to an address in D6 and the AA sent me on a wild goose chase. I should've known better as I lived in Rathmines for a year.

    I was travelling parallel to the Grand Canal from Inchicore D8 when I missed my right turn onto Rathmines Road and all because I couldn't take a right turn which us culchies tend to do despite warning roadsigns! 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
    Nobody knows us, we don't care
