1.The M50 Dublin ring road gets extremely busy and slow moving to the north and west

3,Consider leaving the M50 to join the M6 in the direction of Galway making that part of your itinerary
4. Several car rental companies have contracts to pay the M50 tolls electronically and recharge the customer.All other tolls MUST be paid in cash at the respective toll plaza...keep coins handy.
FINALLY...to avoid the tourist buses clogging up the Ring of Kerry consider doing the Ring of Beara instead.even more spectacular and the roads are too narrow for the full size buses/ coaches
As we're flying into Cork (my bad, forgot to mention) most of those tips would be better for others. Good shout about the Ring of Kerry/Beara though, thank you
