Answer 6

Sligo and Galway definitely. anywhere in the west of Ireland as long as you're near a big town and city cos if it rains and you're in the countryside then you can't do anything without getting wet....

Answer 7

the south west of ireland around kerry, mainly the ring of kerry.

or visit the Lovely city of Kilkenny- called the Marble city- this is one of my favourite towns in ireland- Kilkenny has a direct train from Dublin 4 or 5 times a day, and there a few coach that serve Kilkenny from  Dublin Busaras (central bus station), perhaps i can say this as my father is from Co. Kilkenny.

but wherever you go in Ireland you will be greeted very warmly. i have brought friends over with me for a holiday, and there have gone back a few times with their families, and they all say the samething. how friendly the people of Ireland are
