RS tour? if yes: we took his Ireland tour last summer (2007) and in the package they mailed us prior to leaving the US, it had a sheet in it that listed things to do that would not be included in the tour. We did those things for the 2 days before the tour started and for a day after the tour was over. If NO RS tour - call the tour company and ask for advice. Do you have the RS Ireland guide book yet? Lots of good information.

Thanks for the Information. Yes we are taking the RS Tour, but do not have a list of items to do on our own. I am reading the RS Ireland Tour Book now.

If you like really fresh Irish seafood, King Sitric in nearby Howth is very good. Their menu (lunch and dinner) is online. You can take the DART train to get to Howth from Dublin.
I really liked the crypt under St. Michan's in Dublin. Very small church and crypt, so you can easily fit it in and still have plenty of time for other sights.
Lots of great clubs and pubs for your daughters. But if they want to really meet the locals, best to steer clear of Temple Bar as it's chock full of tourists and stag/hen parties.
