Liam, I'm planning on leaving home at 9 to give me an hour and a half to get to Monard. Should be plenty. I could meet you just off the M7 where you turn onto the N9 for Cork (Midway Junction) at around 9.15? Once you turn left off the roundabout at the top of the off-ramp I'll pull in on the wide part of the road. Suit you? I'll PM you my number in case you need to get in contact.
Keith, I would have thought the Cahir/Tipperary exit would be easiest to use, maybe it's the junction 10 you're talking about. I'd give it 25 mins or so to get to Monard from there...
