As an Irish man I would recommend a trip to Killarney and a trip around the ring of Kerry.

Answer 2

Plan what you want to do before you go so you'll fit it all in. Have a look at http://www.visitdublin.com/ and if you'd like to include some fun cultural tours etc. I personally recommend the following:

The Viking Splash Tour http://www.vikingsplash.ie/

Dublinia http://www.dublinia.ie/

Sea Safari http://www.seasafari.ie/

Guiness Storehouse http://www.guinness-storehouse.com/

Visiting Croke Park http://www.crokepark.ie/

Killmainham Gaol http://www.kilmainham-gaol.com/

I've put them in order of what I think you and your kids would enjoy the most, been on all those tours and more, having lived in Dublin all my life and those above are the ones I would bring friends and family on or even visit again! : D  Don't miss The Viking Splash Tour - it'll really make your stay!!!

Enjoy yourselves!

Answer 3

Croke Park, Wicklow Jail and Kilmanen Jail are great things to see.

You could go down to Cork and See the Blarney Stone. The myth is I you kiss it you’ll never shut up!

For the scenery I like the Wicklow mountains.-à http://www.gsi.ie/NR/rdonlyres/6CC9C746-...

Also in Wicklow, are the Sugarloaf mountains. They’re very beautiful too. à http://www.lookaroundireland.com/countie...

In Dublin, The best night life is definitely in Temple Bar.

If you want a relaxing, quiet holiday in the country or enjoy the scenery, then any parts of the country will do it for you really like Donegal, Galway, Clare, Mayo etc.

If you want a shopping, busy, touristy holiday then anywhere (or most places) in Dublin will do it for you.

A town in Kerry (the South of Ireland, It’s beside Cork too) called Tralee is very touristy. It is the largest town in Ireland.

It has many attractions and loads of shops and a great night life.

It’s great for young people and people with small families. It suits everyone.

It has an aqua dome swimming pool which is always packed and outside the pool, You can play crazy Golf.

Here is a site on Tralee:  http://www.tralee-insight.com/

Here are some sights on Tourism in Ireland:

Good Luck. = )

have a look at your map and go the the ring of Kerry it is beautiful, you can catch a boat across the bay and there is one particular dolphin that is permanently there that swims with the boat, great fun, I am afraid you will have to have a look at the information from the tourist info to get the exact place, but it will definately be mentioned and well worth the trip.
