It all depends what you like really. Probably best to travel about a bit. Spend a day in Dublin and then head west. Bunratty Castle and Folk Village is fantastic. Book to go to one of the medieval banquets - fastastic. Then you could head on to County Clare and Galway where you have wonderful scenery and plenty of tourist attractions.
If you want peace and relaxation, go to Donegal. Hire a small cottage and enjoy the beaches. There's some great beaches in Northern Ireland too - along the North Antrim Coast. I'm heading there myself this weekend.

Depends on what you are looking for.
I'm sure you will be told just about every county in Ireland and I'm sure they are all lovely. Here is my experiences though.
Dublin is the largest city with plenty to see and do as you would expect. Everyone will tell you to go to Temple Bat which is OK but tends to get packed and very touristy. A couple of hours south on the train gets you to Kilkenny which is a lovely place and fun nightlife too. Go a half hour futher and you are in Waterford, home of Waterford crystal! This is a very small town with not much going on.
On the East of Ireland you have Galway where you can go and see the Blarney stone. Much more countrified feel over here. With cozy small town feel.
If you want to see some of Ireland though you are best advised to get a car and investigate. Although I have heard that canal boating in N. Ireland is good too.

Depends what you want. Liveliest cities are Galway and Cork. Lots of lovely places near these too. Belfast is very friendly and has the best places to eat. Wexford is good for beaches and the only place in Ireland to be early November during the Opera Festival (even if you don't like opera) when our weather is usually grim. Donegal is still unspoilt and lovely and the north N.Ireland coast is said to be gorgeous - we keep meaning to get up there.
Personally, I'd stay away from Dublin unless you like drunks and traffic. Avoid Killarney town (horrid rip-you-off touristy), Waterford City (nothing to see but the Chrystal factory), Limerick (say no more). The coastline is generally more interesting than inland. Don't forget to bring plenty of money as everything here costs a bomb.

South of Dublin there is a small vishing town called Sutton.
Further north there is another fishing village called Betty's town.
Galway is excellent and just south is County Clare where you can stop at the town called Ennis, i would recommend you visit the Cliffs of Moher & Bunratty Castle.
County Limerick has the best voted village in Ireland a town called Adaire.
Enjoy !

Depends on what u r looking for. Night life: pubs clubs ,restaurants and theatre= Dublin.For scenery Wicklow or Donegal can't be beaten but pick your time between March and August for any chance of a dry week. Cork is great for culture and fine dining.
