Itinerary Critique requested.

Hi
Need some help with my itinerary. I thought I had planned things pretty well, but have late breaking request that we simply must see Dingle while in the area. we will be renting a car so i have some flexibility

Staying in Galway from Monday through Wednesday am. Taking in the Trad show Tuesday night.
Original thought was to head to Kenmare for 2 nights, then onto Kinsale for 2 nights, drive to Graiguenamangh for two nights and finally back to Dublin for 4 nights

Does it make sense to steal a day from Dublin and insert an overnight in Dingle between Galway and Kenmare? I know the existing itinerary is quite aggressive, but we really wanted to pack in as much as we can. 3 nights in Dublin seems about right. Maybe steal another day and stay an extra night in Dingle? Chances are higher we are back in Dublin before we would find ourselves in Dingle area.

I think 2 nights in Dublin would be adequate as long as you get there early from Graigunamangh. BTW, why Graiguenamangh instead of Kilkenny?

Actually, it wil be 2 full days and 3 nights in Dublin after we steal a day, so makes me feel it really is the right thing to do.
As for staying in Graiguenamangh, I was looking for a smaller town feel rather than a larger city. I had read some reviews elsewhere that while Kilkenny is a great place to visit, they suggested staying outside. I found the Waterside Guesthouse and it caught my eye.

Greetings from Ireland. Dingle is the best village in Ireland, it has everything - scenery, pubs, music, food, characters, the Irish language... I could go on and on.
I moved to Dingle from my beloved Ulster. Its a must-see, and in my professional opinion - anyone who has the opportunity who visit Dingle on an Ireland vacation must do so.
