Ireland Itinerary

Just wondering if anyone can offer the most simplified way to cover these cities: Flying into Shannon, want to go to Dingle, County Cork, Dublin, and County Mayo, flying back out of Shannon. We plan to spend about 2 days in each city and will have a rental car. Thank you!

County Cork and County Mayo both have a number of towns in them, so it's hard to guess what you want to see. If I were doing the planning, though, I would first go to Dingle, via the ferry at Killimer/Tarbert to save some driving time. Then I would continue on to Cork (or wherever you intended), then Dublin, then County Mayo, and back to Shannon. If you go to www.viamichelin.com you can find routing between each area. Add about 25% to their estimated driving times to get a more accurate picture. Does your "about two days" include driving time between areas? How many days is your trip all together?
