I live a good bit south of Gorey and I travel by train 4 days a week (driving to station) and drive one day a week.
Driving to south city centre approx. 1 1/2 hours each way, if I leave home at 5.30-6 a.m., and leave Dublin before 4. Leaving later either way gets you into serious traffic and increases the time.
Train 1 hr 40 mins each way plus drive time to station.
Wouldn't recommend it to everyone but I find it ok, not a huge difference for me from when I lived in outskirts of Dublin as I had to travel across the city. There are quite a few people making the trek from Gorey on the train.
Driving is more tiring but nice to get home earlier one day a week.
