For all the people who live South of Dublin, traveling to France has just become more of a chore, leaving earlier to avoid traffic, maybe taking the port tunnel etc to avoid congestion, and ironically in the same week that Rosslare and Waterford ports are being mentioned in the press as available to take up the excess that Dublin cannot cope with.
The departures from Dublin are at 4pm, so checkin at about 2 or 3pm which is most definitely not rush hour when youre heading to the port.
You arrive back into Dublin just after 10am, so again, by 11 when youre off the ferry and on the M50 the traffic will not be at its peak.
For a realtime example, that arrival time would actually be right about now, and google traffic is currently showing no issues at all on the M50, with just the roadworks at Naas being marked as slow, which being a 60 zone is true .
