Answer 2

I really like western Ireland -- counties Galway, Clare and Donegal.  They have some of the gaeltaecht (Irish-speaking) areas and some of the pubs with the best traditional music.  Doolen is famous for its music. There's also the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren, Connemara, Galway Bay and city (which I like more than Dublin) and all sorts of other fascinating villages and places to see.   You can fly into Shannon which is closer.

Further south, co. Kerry is nice but a bit more touristy.

here's a website for co. Clare
