    I wonder is there a reason they go via Dun Laoghaire and not Dublin Port. That would seem easier. Does anyone have know why it goes through the city?

    Brian the cargo ship that brought the tanks in docked in Dun Laioghaire I think someone mentioned that Dublin port could not handle the ships load at the time, As for the route through the city center it would be the most direct one and there are no bridges along the way.
    So once they get on to the quays it’s a straight run to Victoria Quay.
