Option 1
Go to the Roxboro roundabout on the South side of the city. This can be reached by the number 303 bus from Limerick City Centre (on William Street) for around 1.50 Euro. Get off the bus near the motorway exit. You walk up here for 10 minutes until you reach a roundabout. Here, you go straight down, following the signs for Cork, and stand on the side of the motorway behind some yellow lines. This is just after the bridge. We waited for 5 minutes with a sign at this spot and got a lift to Cork city.
Option 2
Go to the Raheen roundabout on the South side of the city. This can be reached by the number 304/304 A bus from Limerick City Centre (Outside the Brown Thomas department Store) for around 1.50 Euro. From the last stop, you walk up the motorway for 5 minutes until you reach a second roundabout. Here, you turn left and stand on the side of the motorway behind some yellow lines. We waited for 5 minutes with a sign at this spot and got a lift to Cork city.

Go to the Annacotty/Dublin Road roundabout on the East side of the city. This can be reached by the number 308 bus from Limerick City Centre (Outside the Peter Mark hairdressers on William Street) for around 1.50 Euro.
