We are flying into Dublin at 830am but won't be staying in Dublin until the end of our trip. Our plan is to drive from Dublin to Dingle and break up the drive by staying one night along the way. I've looked at few road maps and done some goggling but this is my first trip to Ireland. I'm just not sure what would be a good place to stop that isn't to far out of the way. Thanks!

Dublin to Galway, Galway to Dingle. Both legs are about 3hrs on Main Routes. Galway is famous for Traditional Music Venues.

Hopefully you won’t be trying to drive on the opposite side of the road ( In Ireland you drive on the left) when you’re jet lagged right after a Transatlantic flight.

Drive from the Airport to Kilkenny. It is an hour and half drive and there is a lot to do in Kilkenny. From there it is 3-4 hours to Dingle/

How about taking the bus from the airport to Galway (or Limerick or Tralee), spend the night there and pick up the rental car in the morning? You can either return it in Dublin or return it to where you got it and take the train to Dublin. Or fly into Shannon and go directly to Dingle.
