Lous, I toured Ireland a few years back. Will try and find my route maps for you.

Ring of Kerry is a must - would also check out parts of north west Ireland (Galway etc). Head north from Dublin to Roscommon - then on to Galway - then head south along the coast towards Ring of Kerry - then head up north towards Dublin.

My single piece of advice, regardless of time of year, is to buy the best waterproof clothing. Emphasis on being waterproof! Don't want to dampen spirits (no pun intended) but be prepared to get very wet. I've been to Ireland to see family on numerous occassions and there's two things you can guarantee......getting wet and getting your stomach very wet (guinness).

You'll love it though!
