June 15 Dublin

June 16 Kinsale - Pick up rental car, Kilkenny for lunch, Rock of Cashel, then on to Kinsale

June 17 - Kenmare - Kinsale sightseeing then drive to Killarney National Park, Muckross House

June 18 - Kenmare - Do Ring Of Kerry

June 19 - Galway - Drive to Tralee, to Ferry to Kilmer up coast to Cliffs of Moher on the way -

June 20 - Galway

June 21 - Ennis or Shannon - which is better overnight for airport next day to Edinburgh?

Any help is appreciated!

To answer the last part of your question.....you don’t say what time your flight is out the next day, but Bunratty is a bit closer to the airport than Ennis.
We have stayed at the Bunratty Castle Hotel twice, but I can’t recommend it anymore because our last stay a few weeks ago, the WIFI was terrible.
However, it is right across from the castle.
Have a Guinness at Dirty Nellie’s.
Gallagher’s is a nice dinner out, also right across the street.
