Answer 4

As barbara b says, you can follow the AA roadwatch suggestions. The only observation I would make is that it might take a lot longer than the 4 hours 13 minutes they suggest for the 216 miles/349 kilometres because (a) it assumes over 50mph average on a route that is mostly single carriageway (b) you have to go through some towns which don't yet have bypasses such as Thurles - this will be slow.

I suggest you allow 5.5-6 hour and take breaks in interesting places such as Birr and Cashel. Safe driving!
