My daughter is studying abroad in Dublin in the Fall. 3 of my friends, my mother-in-law and another mother are flying over to celebrate her 21st bday with her. 3 of us were in Dublin last Fall and this is the third Ireland trip for 2 of us. We have 8 nights and were going to spend them in Dublin, Dingle and Galway. Just how empty is Dingle in November? Should we spend 3 nights here? We would like to use public transporation instead of renting a car. Is it possible to add Kilkenny and Rosh of Cashel with out a car? Thanks!
A lot of seasonal things (some attractions and B&Bs) close down on Nov 1, so you might find it a little more difficult(but not impossible) to find lodging. Also, some attractions that remain open reduce their hours/days of operation. You can absolutely get to Kilkenny by bus, and I'm sure that there you can arrange a tour to Rock of Cashel. There most likely is bus service to Cashel, but it might be an issue of matching their schedule to yours.
