How rough is the ferry crossing from Holyhead to Dublin?

Not rough at all if you take one of the Ships, The fast Cats can be a bit bumpy but nothing too bad (or they don't sail). From Lincoln you would probably be looking a flights from East Midlands or Stansted which both have a selection of flights to Irish Airports. The HSS is locally known as the 'hope she sails'!
