Depends on where exactly in Clonskeagh but have more alternative routes for if you're heading for Bird Ave.Just ask the passenger!They know where they live/work.

One of them was the rout offered on an App no right turn onto clonskeagh road if you go straight from Dartry Road so you need to turn onto Dundrum Road think you can cut through the houses by turning onto Dodder Park road before Bird Avenue .I wonder how certain apps decided on Routs some of them seem to be questionable .Did the Logoritm mix up day time travel in heavy traffic and nighttime travel . Who in their right mind would ever choose the canal as a prefered rout daytimes .

Be careful you don't accidentally have your GPS set to cycle..


Unlikey though..

Just thinking if their using other motorists data to calculate driving times how do they know that the deliveroo and cyclists aren't being counted as cars?

I regularly drive to the same place different ways to keep it fresh and relieve the boredom.Back when I was working as a taxi driver.

Customers think we're trying to get an extra 50cent on the meter on every job but I couldn't care less as long as the meter is on.

For any of those Business Parks in Clonskeagh,turn right then onto Dundrum Rd then first left (ignoring the immediate left into the apartments),then second right brings you out onto Clonskeagh Rd near the turn for Beech Hill.
