  1. To get the exact distance log on to aaireland.ie and go to route planning and you can get the distance.  

    Maynooth is a University town and it would be a bit of a nightmare to work there and live in Portmarnock (I know my son is at college there).  Without a car you would have to get the dart into the city and then get the suburban train out to Maynooth.  It would make your day very long.  However, Portmarnock is lovely and right beside the sea so if you think the hassle is worth it then its your choice.


  2. I'd say at least an hour if not more at prime times.

    Maynooth is a lovely place you should consider moving there, or nearby Lucan, Celbridge, Leixlip, Palmerstown etc.

  3. Maynooth is approximately 23/24 miles from Portmarnock.   The fastest way to get between the two may be by regular trains, one into Dublin (Connolly Station) and another to Maynooth.  The Dart (Dublin Area Rapid Transit) from Portmarnock to Connolly Station Dublin, which runs more frequently than the regular train, is a 20min journey, the regular train takes 11mins.   A sample timetable for Monday morning 27th shows;

    Leave Portmarnock on the 7.37 train, catch 8.00 train to Maynooth arrive at 8.22

    Leave Portmarnock on the 7.49 Dart catch 8.40 train to Maynooth arrive at 9.16

    The link below is to the Irish Rail site timetables, type in Portmarnock at ‘From’ and Maynooth at ‘To’ and it will take the train/Dart change at Connolly station into account for timetables.
