Find Londonderry/Derry on Googlemaps and you'll see how close to the border you will be. 5 min drive. And yes, due to EU money, the Republic's roads are now much better than ours!

That's a bit of an old chestnut, no? And btw, NI has done better than most financially out of the EU (not to mention the very generous subsidies from English taxpayers).

Explain please?

Wouldn't risk it. 25 min to Belfast from Int Airport, and traffic will crawl around that time. The road to Derry is rubbish- there are a few wider sections for overtaking, but largely you'd find it hard to get there in the timeframe you've given.

Good Morning!

As some of you know im heading to N. Ireland tomorrow and I have a question for some of you locals....

If I land in Belfast international at 9:05 and need to be in londonderry for 1:30-1:45 do I have time to stop in Belfast for an appointment that will approx take 2hrs or less first? Otherwise ill do it another day but if I do and its not too tight id like to do it that way

Thanks!

im not sure about travelling time from belfast to Derry the map says 74 miles 1:38min. But you guys know whats best travelling wise

Appreciate your help!

Is there scope to have the other party in the meeting meet you at the airport? The hotels around there will hire out a meeting room no problem.
