Do not follow Google Maps!

Do yourself a favour while travelling through Ireland; don't follow Google Maps suggested routes blindly. Despite having their European headquarters in Dublin, Google does not understand Irish roads. Due to the way speed limits are setup here, Google will calculate its route using any and all roads here, even single lane roads with grass down the middle. A route that it calculates as 5 min shorter could be a lot slower in real life. Try and stick to the M roads which are motorways or R roads which are the well-maintained regional roads for most of your trip. L roads are our local roads and are slow and narrow..
