We are coming in September- arrive Dublin picking up car and going to Galway for 2 nights exploring the area. Then we leave and would like to drive the Dingle peninsula and on to stay in Kenmare for 2 nights. Is that too far? We would drive ROK the next day. Next we are in Kilkenny for a night then Dublin (where we will give up the car) for 2 nights. Originally I had booked a hotel in Castleisland after Galway for a night and then Bantry but thought 2 night stay was better.?????

If I were you I would break it up by staying in Dingle for one night.

Trying to stretch your drive all the way to Kenmare would make for a very, very long day and would frankly preclude the ability to savor the experience of the Dingle peninsula and Slea Head Drive. I agree that you might be better advised to stay in or near Dingle for a couple of nights or, maybe better, find somewhere between Killarney & Dingle (Castlemaine, Killorglin, Glenbeigh) - to be in a more central (and convenient) position for exploring the ROK, Killarney NP, the Gap of Dunloe, and maybe the Skellig Ring Road near Portmagee without wearing yourself out in the process.
