Via Tullamore I’d say.
Traffic be alright at that time?
You won’t have to go into the centre of Portlaoise and Tullamore has a ring road I’d say you’ll be fine

You in the ERU?
A lot of stuff falling into place 
Won’t have to go near Portlaoise. You can head straight into Mountmellick from Mountrath. It’ll save you a good half hour /40 minutes

How do you think he avoided detection all this time?
Via Tullamore is the better of two bad options. Roads are woeful. You’ll get caught behind a truck at some stage and there’s nowhere to pass em so give yourself a few extra minutes.
