Answer 1

hey dont worry about calling ireland ....eire i  take no offence.....

sunny south east well its all lovely and with a lot of luck you will ave good weather,i could give you loads of links but...well you ask for an answer if you wanted you could have checked the links on the web yourself.

anyway check out Glendanlough in co.wicklow fab views ,st.kevins bed lots of walking.roundwood highest pub in ireland they say or johnny foxes in glencullen meant to be the highest pub a little bit of rivalry between the two but both are great.bray seafont loads of amusements, wicklow goal(jail) very intersting,courttown in wexford another great spot...amusements and pubs, brittas bay stunning beach soft sand, arklow have a lovely beach too and they have a seabreeze festival..in the summer as does bray. all of these places are not too far from the coast, loads more too many to type.if you need any more info click on my 360 and give me a wave.... and i can get the dates of the festivals for you.enjoy....

Answer 2

Wexford has lovely beaches like Dunncannon and if you are looking for a quiet village with some pubs aswell i'd recommend Campile (if you look you'll find it) And then you could go to Waterford for a bit of shopping while your there!

Answer 3

I live in south east Ireland and all the towns have something different to offer. Try Glendalough-it's this really beautiful open forested place in Wicklow, it's great for walks and hikes. You could try Kilkenny Castle in Kilkenny, the Dolmens in Carlow and Curracloe Beach in Wexford as well. Also since you're going in the summer, it might be worth going down to Tramore in Waterford. It's one of the most popular seaside resorts in Ireland and it's got a great relaxed atmosphere in the summer

btw it's not at all offensive to call Ireland 'Eire' so don't worry bout it-have a great trip : )

Answer 5

Please don't call the country Éire unless you are speaking in the Irish language - it sounds silly. The country is called Ireland.

Out the northside of Dublin, Howth, Malahide and Skerries and all quite accessible and scenic. All of them are nice areas to walk in. On the southside, Dalkey, Killiney and Bray would be similar.

Further afield and worth a visit, though not on the coast, would be Glendalough in Wicklow and Knowth and Newgrange in the Boyne Valley.

Answer 6

Waterford, Dungarvan, and Youghal are all on the East coast and all have seaside attractions, although Youghal is nearer to the south.  If you are driving from Dublin you could make it all the way to the south in about 3-4 hours which would open up a plethora of beaches and seaside towns including Kinsale with it's famous cuisine and West Cork with it's fishing villages and rural heritage.  There are plenty of B&B's around but you would be advised to book one in the smaller towns as they are way cheaper.

Answer 7

Waterford and Kilkenny cities, also along the Waterford coast is nice.
