The Gap of Dunloe is truly a sight to see. Motor car traffic is frowned upon; perhaps prohibited through the gap. Although no one will likely stop you, you may get a sneer of two. We didn't really have much of a choice as our B&B was through the gap in the Black Valley. Driving all the way around to the south wasn't in our itinerary. The road into the Black Valley from the south was far from a four-lane interstate too.
