Seems like a good spot to go to Dublin. But I waited a loooong time, a lot of people went that way but NOBODY stopped. Terrible.rating: 1/5, wait: 90 min

the green just in front of the cafe is a good spot for hitching towards Dublin, one lift often gets you as far as Kilmacanogue where public transport can be got...rating: 5/5, wait: 12 min, ride: 26 km ↗

Great spot towards Dublin, Athlone etc, but hard to reach without having hitch-hiked before. Waiting time : 5min―Anonymous, June 2016

Average to spot to join west-Dublin by the circular. Small space to hitchhike but possibilities to meet a pilote from the airport ! Waiting time : 35minSpot correct pour poucer, l'espace est maigre, bien qu'il y ait un petit parking. Le trafic est dense mais peu de gens s'arrte. Bon pour rejoindre la rocade et Dublin West pour dcoller vers l'Ouest du pays ! Temps d'attente : 35min

One time got lucky, and driver offered a lift while we were drawing the sign.Second time, I was by myself, and took a bit longer... and the driver only left me up to one of the bypass roundabouts (from where I got a lift all the way to Dublin)

Plenty of space, and cars are going to be going slow after the roundabout - perfect for going to Carrick, or Sligo. Just go to the other side of the roundabout for Dublin!―Anonymous, June 2016

Space for cars to pull over but visibility is not amazing... direction Dublin, Tullamore, etc.(If going to Dublin you'd be better checking the spot I added nearer to the motorway)

Hard shoulder. Space to pull over. Cars going slowly after roundabout. Most cars will be heading taking M6 towards Dublin.―Anonymous, June 2016

Loads of Trucks! I was heading to Ireland, I just talked to every truck driver chilling at the parking place. Most of them were going Far south. (London even Dover) Eventually an Irish trucker took me all the way to Dublin, He even payed the boat ticket for me.―Erth Walker, November 2015

Great place to go to either Limerick city, M18 Ennis/Galway or M7 Dublin. A sign might help because drivers might be going in any one of the 3 directions. Its almost the last stop before the motorway starts.―Darach, September 2015

Very good place to escape from Dublin towards Wicklow Mountains. Our route: Dublin>Saggart>Blessington>Hollywood>Glendalough―Nixe12, September 2015

Petrol station for BlessingtonIt's easy to get there from the City Center by Luas Red Line towards Saggart and then on foot for a while.
Another option: catch Dublin bus nr 65 to stop nr 2576 - Citywest Road, Blessington Road

Dublin direction.Wait 15 min
Good traffic but it is quite dangerous because the cars drive fast and there is not too much place.

It's a good place for hitchhiking to the Dublin city centre, but totally senseless for Belfast directions (even though motorway sings say differently). Three cars stopped us during an hour and told us to give it up, no chance to getting from here to Belfast. At the end we had to take a bus...Anyway, cars drive fast, but there's a plenty of space to stop. So make a big sign. Also a lot of taxi drivers drive around and they think and thumb up means we want taxi, so try to not hitchhike them :)
