If you get directions from Mapquest.com and add a little time to that, you will have a good idea.

Galway and Dingle are, of course, in opposite directions from Shannon, but here are the approximate travel times: Shannon Airport to Galway is just under two hours with no stops, taking the most direct route, not the coast road past the Cliffs of Moher. Shannon Airport to Dingle, via Limerick, is about 3.5 hours with no stops. Expect to also be delayed by slow-moving farm machinery, sheep, and narrow roads once you get onto the smaller, regional roads. I use ViaMichelin.com, and add about 25% to their time estimates to get a more accurate picture of the true travel time.
