i like donegal the best

nice spot big inlay for drivers to pull over

best rounsdabout for lifts out of monaghan but honestly all of them get rakes of traffic passing thru north

enough room even for a big truck to pull in, lot of hgv on this road direction derry cavan and letterkenny

cars are going pretty fast but theres space to pull in past the bend after town. signed for ardee.

signed for slane & derry,

good for going east, cars are pretty slow, good visibility, big onslip to pull over on, I like this spot! you're a bit in the middle of nowhere but sure

weekday 10-11am there actually wasn't that much traffic, cars are fast got nothing new to say

space to pull over, cars not too fast most of time cuz of people turning, but the vibes are just bad here idk (got one of the best lifts ever tho) cardboard and bathroom and snacks at petrol station

somewhere around here would probably be good towards Boyne, was told this is the local road and a lot of locals do be using it, there's not a crazy amount of traffic so might still take you a bit but ppl are very nice and going fairly slow

not rlly loads of space to pull over, much traffic only going short distance, everyone's v nice

didn't try hitching from here to the west as there's no space at all

towards Sligo! cars are fast but can see you from ages away, big onslip, not the best spot ever but a lot of people going through here

was walking along this road and put my thumb out, very little cars but everyone's very nice and going max 20km/h, really nice walk through the forest along this road

limited amount of traffic but everyone was so happy to see me and got a lift within 10 or so mins, there's a big enough onslip to stop on and everyone's going slow through the roundabout

cars pretty fast, huge onslip, big stretch so v visible still, don't get dropped here this place isn't great

good for going north direction Sligo, cars are slow, space to pull in a bit after roundabout, good visibility, good amount of traffic bless whoever is responsible for all the roundabouts everywhere on this island

Nice busy road with plenty of Dublin reg cars driving east. Got lucky with a sparky headed to swords. Dropped me to airport

easy ride to limerick

Direction Galway, Cavan or Dublin. Mostly westbound traffic but I signed for Dublin and got picked up quickly enough even on a wet day.

From here you can catch cars leaving the petrol station and they can pull into the hotels driveway. Straight to the best city in Ireland

There’s a set of light here cars may have to stop at. There’s also roadside parking right here so a car can pull in. Perfect road to get to Derry. My lift was such a lovely bloke, made me very happy to be hitchhiking in Ireland

While heading to Ireland, a family heading home from Poland took me with them for a night in their van and even offered me a night in their guest room.

2ppl, tuesday evening. We found a ride immediately towards Northern Ireland. We asked people on the gas station.

I waited a lot for Ireland, but it did work.

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.

heading direction east stood here 1/2 h and was taking by a young couple aspecially while she knew the burden of hitchhiking, she did it for the first time last year in Ireland

Hitchhiking to the Mourne mountain (Northern Ireland). Lots of place and traffic, so it is a very good place

Hitchhiking in the Mourne Mountains (Northern Ireland). Wait 5 min. Lots of traffic but the place to stop is not big so be quick and be careful.

Hitchhiking to reach the Mourne mountains (Nerthern Ireland). Wait 5 min. Lots of traffic and place to stop

If you want to reach Ireland by boat, here is the ferry to cork ! Rosko/Roscoff is an easy city to reach by thumb, but people pay the ferry by person and not by cars. If you're in Brittany, it's still the best option and you can buy tickets for less than 70euros in summer. If coming from outside of Brittany, it's probably better to cross the channel in calais (people pay by car) and then hitch in england and wales, even if it's a little bit more difficult there. In wales, you still have to pay the ferry but it's cheaper !

there is a bay where cars going to crewe or chester or even to holyhead and ireland can easily stop.

Going towards Maynooth, M4 motorway for Galway and the West of Ireland.

Motorway exits for Western Ireland and Dublin

Weirdly enough, this is the fastest way to get out of Ireland from Kilkenny (via the Rosslare ferry).

This should be a decent spot - along the main road that's leaving Coleraine towards Derry, a hard shoulder, enough traffic but not too much - still I had to wait more than an hour, which is toally exceptional for Northern Ireland. You'd probably be better off following the road a bit further down until you're really out of town (although cars will be faster there).
