Dublin to Sligo Removals
Professional removals between Dublin and Sligo — family-run since 1982.
Moving from Dublin to Sligo takes us on the M4/N4 corridor to the north-west — a longer run than Galway, but still comfortably single-day for most house moves. J Hanway has been running this route for decades: ATU Sligo academic moves, career relocations to the medical devices sector, families heading to the Yeats Country.
The Dublin to Sligo Route
M50 → M4 → N4, 213 km, roughly 2 hours 30 minutes empty and 3 hours loaded. The M4 ends near Kinnegad and the N4 takes over — still good dual-carriageway for most of the way, single-lane in places. Sligo arrival is typically early afternoon.
Dublin-to-Sligo Customers
ATU Sligo academic moves. Staff and postgrads relocating for the academic year.
Medical devices career moves. Sligo has a significant med-tech cluster (Abbvie, Abbott) and workers relocating north are usually on tight timelines.
Lifestyle moves to north-west Ireland. Families and retirees drawn by the landscape — Strandhill, Rosses Point, Mullaghmore.
What the Move Looks Like
7 am Dublin load. Earlier than shorter routes because the drive is longer. N4 run. On the road by 10, Sligo by 1 pm. Afternoon unload — most moves complete same-day, finishing mid-to-late afternoon.
