This wasn't really anything to do with the fact that these suburbs are huge distances away from each other, more because there is no direct public transport link between the two, so it was generally a bus or walk into town and then a loooooooong bus journey out. Now that I've moved, the bus I get is notoriously unreliable, but when it does come it's generally about 45 minutes journey time to work and it's direct almost to the door of my office. The evening commute can be about an hour.

Fair enough if I lived outside Dublin, but I live close to the city centre. God I hated it.
