Service station for cars going to Port Laois. Only use if one has problems at motorway exit.―Anonymous

For Limerick and the South West. There is alot of local traffic so it could be wise to put "Mountrath" on your sign as this town nearby has many service stations.―Anonymous

There is a toll booth. The road splits in two - direction Limerick and direction Cork. Stand just behind ticket booth. Waited less than one minute―Anonymous

Huge service station on the highway before the Limerick Cork Split, cars going everywhere we got a lift to Limerick almost immediately―Anonymous

best ride of my life. had a sign for cork but was asking people for a ride to fermoy. mostly people said they were going in the opposite direction or were locals, but there are loads of cars here. ask at the entrance by the pumps. i lucked out with someone going all the way to ballydehob but should be fair to expect a ride to cork in good time as well.―Leslie

this spot isnt as good as asking around the rest stop but after 10 minutes signing for dublin a lovely woman from belfast brought me to saggart so this spot works too in a pinch. i wouldnt sign from the onslip though it looks too sketchy to walk to. signed for dublin―Leslie

it isnt sign posted but i asked a local and he said this is the road people would be using to get to ennis from milltown. during festival season especially i reckon you could chance writing limerick or even dublin on a sign and thumb the whole way home, i got very lucky immediately with a lift to port laois while i signed for ennis.―Leslie

i went to Emo but you could prolly also sign for motorway or Dublin Kildare Naas from here, there's a speedbump so everyone's going v slow, loads of drive ins to pull into, portlaoise seems to love roundabouts as much as me so there's many good spots along this road―rot

small update to this which is that while i was asking for lifts to dublin from here i was kicked out by the station manager. ive hitched from here before 3 or 4 times with no problem from staff, so i reckon its still worth asking around the pumps for lifts etc, just be nice and polite and dont give customers an excuse to complain.―Leslie
