We leave in a couple of days for Western Ireland. We fly in and out of Shannon and drive to Bunratty, Kenmare, Dingle, Doolin, Salthill/Galway, Ennis and then back to Shannon. Can anyone help with ATM availability in or near these locations? We'll start of at the airport getting some cash, but it would be helpful to know how the availability is in our other stops. Thanks!

Almost any bank will have an outside ATM. Convenience stores and supermarkets will also have them. Actually they are plentiful and getting cash is no problem.

As Pat said, ATMs are everywhere. Bunratty is six miles or so from Shannon airport, and there is a shopping center right across the street from the castle which has ATMs and a currency exchange. I wouldn't count on finding one in Doolin, but you might. I've used ATMs in Kenmare.

I recently received an email from a B&B owner in Doolin. There is no ATM in Doolin but there is one at the Cliffs of Moher gift shop.

Cliffs of Moher gift shop is about a 15-20 minute drive from Doolin, if I remember correctly.

There are plenty of banks and atms in Dingle as well and almost all of the bussiness and B&B's accept credit cards. We did a similar trip last year and had no problem finding enough cash machines to keep cash in hand for incidentals. Have fun we LOVED it!
