Cork
,→Southwest towards Bandon, Clonakilty
Get the number 8 bus to Mayfield. Walk down the hill away from the main supermarket for 10 minutes. You will arrive at two petrol stations (Topaz and ?). You can ask around there for people headed east. If they're going east, but in the wrong direction after the Dublin and the Waterford road are separating, have yourself dropped of at the second roundabout (works great for Dublin, don't know about Waterford).
You could also walk from the city quite easily. Head up to McCurtain Street and go all the way past the train station and out that road until you come to a space where cars can park (20 minutes to half an hour walk) (Lower Glanmire st, 82 seems to be the exact place, 5 quick rides got in two weeks. summer 2017) This is a good spot to hitch and you'll get lifts to East Cork or Waterford quite easily.

Go to the Bandon roundabout. Served by bus 208 and 19 to Bishopstown. Leads to N71 motorway. You can get off the 208 at the stop for Hawks Road, hop off the bus and go left then right down Hawks Road. Turn right at the end of this road and follow the road to the left out past the Bandon roundabout to the Amber petrol station. There are several places to stand by the station and this is the best place to hitch from if it's late as there are street lights.
You could also stay on the 208 bus until it's last stop (Marymount Hospice) and get off here. Walk through the Hospice to the entrance on the Waterfall Road, turn right and hitch from the grassy verge on the side of the road. This is a country back road that goes all the way to Bandon. This is not a great place to stand if it's dark.
