Thread Name: BS: Dublin Gridlock??
Subject: RE: BS: Dublin Gridlock??
We were in Dublin in May. Took a taxi from the airport to our B&B near Parnell Square and were glad we weren't driving. While in Dublin we mostly walked or took a bus or a taxi so traffic was not a problem for us although it didn't look too bad.

We picked up a rental car on a Monday expecting it to be at the airport (about 7 miles from the city center) but it was actually on Upper O'Connel Street. We were expecting the worst since this was our first time driving on the left side of the road in 12 years and we planned to be lost a lot. But, it turned out to be a bank holiday so we were virtually alone on the streets of Dublin. We followed the relatively new signs to get to Belfast and had no trouble at all.

This was the last day in Ireland that we didn't get lost at least once!
