How does my 14 day itinerary look

Way, way too much - and some days are impossible, even allowing for the long days in June. . Did you use AI to generate this? I’ll just highlight a few days

Distances may not look far in Ireland, but it is going to take you a lot longer to cover the ground than you might expect. Driving in Ireland is slow and can be tiring. If using google maps to plan a journey, it is advised to add 25% to their driving times.

Day 5
Driving from Cobh to Dingle and doing the Ring of Kerry is going to take 7-8 hours to drive PLUS any stops.... You need to allow at least 2 hours for Blarney Castle, and don’t forget to factor in lunch and comfort stops too. Even removing Ring of Kerry is still going to be a 3-4 hour drive, plus any stops.

Day 6
This is another 6-7+ hours drive PLUS time for stops. I’m not sure when you are going to have any time to see anything in Galway.

Day 7
Another 7-8 hours drive PLUS stops. It is quite a walk from the car park to Giant’s Causeway , so you need to allow 90 minutes there.

One night stops only effectively allow a few hours in a place and with your itinerary you won’t even be getting that long. You will be seeing Ireland through a car windscreen. And you are passing through some amazing places with amazing sights.

I think you need to prune this drastically and cut out some of those one night stops. It sounds as if Stewartstown in a priority so think about cutting out Cork for a start. I’d also consider cutting Dingle as it is a long way west. Instead concentrate on Dublin, Galway (can do Doolin and Cliffs of Moher from there) and Stewartstown as your main bases. There’s lots to do and see in County Galway and Connemara and the scenery is equally as good as Ring of Kerry and Dingle Peninsula.

Slow down and enjoy what Ireland has to offer. It really is a case of less is more...

No AI, just the wife! It’s kind of a combination of a bloggers 14 day trip and then modified for our first few days in Dublin and the desire to go into Northern Ireland also, so I can see where we may have tried to cram too much into a few days.
Appreciate the feedback as I have not really mapped it out myself but I will review what you’re shared as time estimates like that are great.

Try to get a paper map for Ireland and Northern Ireland. That way you can visualize where everything is. You're covering alot of ground in a relatively short period of time. Roads in rural Ireland are not necessarily two lanes wide. You may have to pull over to let oncoming traffic pass. Also bear in mind that the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland are two different countries. Make sure you let your rental car company know you intend to go to Northern Ireland. Some agencies do not allow it. You will need an ETA to enter Northern Ireland.

Thanks for the tip on ETA and the car rental and possible issue of going into Northern Ireland. It may not sound like it from my post but we did buy a map and I just really haven't spent or made the time to visualize everything myself but I do need to. Time for me to actually do that.

I’ll weigh in on the parts of your plan familiar to me…
Day 2 — arrival day. If you’re staying at a hotel, most will store your luggage for you until check in time. Email them in advance to ask. If you’re staying in a rental, check out Stasher. They have storage sites all over Dublin and you can check out reviews before selecting a location near where you’ll be staying. You need to book with Stasher in advance as they don’t take any form of payment on site.
We arrived early morning on our visit last May. We chose to do a lot of walking outdoors to combat jet lag. We had purchased the EPIC museum and Jeanie Johnston Famine Ship combo ticket with a 3:00 pm entry time (to give us a cushion in the event the plane was late). The EPIC ticket allows you to return for a second visit which was perfect for us. We toured the first half of EPIC, then toured the ship, then took a late afternoon snack/sit down break, then returned to tour the second half of the EPIC. EPIC is a fun and interactive museum so is a good choice for a first day.
Day 3 — temple bar is really touristy and you may pay more money for less quality. I’d consider somewhere else for your lunch. There are good places near St Stephen’s Green since you already plan to visit there.
Day 5 — you can spend the day touring the Ring of Kerry OR you can spend the day in Killarney National Park. Ideally you would have a day for each. If you have to choose, you might want to make it weather dependent. We didn’t have that flexibility because we were traveling by train and had booked a day tour for Ring of Kerry. It was pouring rain and super foggy, so we really didn’t see anything. There are a lot of interesting things at Killarney National Park, including Muckross House and Traditional Village
Day 6 — again, I’d suggest a full day for the Dingle Drive and at least a few hours at the Cliffs of Moher. Really a lot on your agenda unless you’re planning to primarily drive by rather than getting out to enjoy some leisurely walking or hiking.
Day 7. — looks like Galway is basically just a pit stop for you? The list of things you plan to see can all be seen in an hour (or less)
Day 8 — you’ll miss the beauty of the Giants Causeway if you don’t build in time for stops. We spent 2 hours just on the rim trail at the Causeway (and that was a highlight of our trip)
My advice—do less and you’ll see more!

Thanks for the feedback Ruth. I do plan on reaching out the hotel but never heard of Stasher so good to know something like that exists. I guess I won't respond to every thing you shared but let me just say thanks for taking the time to share your experience and insights - appreciated.
