West Cork & Kerry are beautiful; the Ring of Kerry can seem a little too tourist infested but is still worth a visit. Otherwise, head up the west coast to Galway.
Loveley place, lovely people & I have visited many times.

The coastal counties in the west:
Donegal - Slieve League (Europe's tallest Sea Cliffs)
Sligo - Ben Bulben
Mayo - Clew Bay
Galway - Aran Islands
Clare - Cliffs of Moher
Kerry - Ring of Kerry
these counties have beautiful coasts and each have interesting sites
County Roscommon has beautiful countryside, from Lough Key Forrest park in the north of the county through the plains of farm country through the centre. On the east coast of the county is the longest stretch of the River Shannon (longest river in Ireland and Britain) and Lough Ree.
My advice would be start in donegal go south to sligo, then head to Roscommon and drive through there are many historical sites in the county, then drive to Mayo which also has beautiful countryside and then go through Galway Clare Kerry and that should eat up most of the two weeks.
I'm from Ireland and have organised trips for foreign students in my old college.

I've been there last year and visited 9 different counties (Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Kilkenny, Cork, Killarney, Kerry, Clare and Westmeath). I would definitely recommend county Clare as you have got the Cliffs of Moher there. We stayed in Paddy Doolins Hostel (Doolin) which is 10 kilometres from the Cliffs. Bray (in county Dublin) is also a nice little town (not so good to spend an entire holiday but for a day or two it's perfect). Bray has got a nice harbour and a lot of opportunities to go hiking. Cork and Limerick I wouldn't recommend as I find them looking very industrial and filthy (especially Limerick).

I'm Irish, I'm from Wexford and live in Dublin now. I'd recommend looking at the West certainly, Galway city, and the Connemara region of Galway county - very green, old stone walls, it's beautiful. Also try the Burren area of Co. Clare, it's a very rare limestone region and has many rare flowers. It's unusual, and well worth a look. In Dublin, try the Guinness brewery, the Book of Kells in Trinity College in the city centre, and Temple Bar for a touristy area with cobblestones and many pubs. Enjoy your stay, and bring LOADS of money. It's very expensive!

You have got to visit our capital city Dublin and why not take in the capital of Ulster Belfast.You know the Titanic was built here at the Harland and Wolf ship yard.Visit the Giants Cause Way on the Antrim Coast.No visitor to Ireland should miss Galway and Connamara.Also the Aran Islands are worth a visit.In Co Meath go to Newgrange and visit the Megalithic passage Tomb it is truely amazing.Irish people are open and friendly and love their country.You will be sure of a warm welcome i hope you enjoy your visit.

Everywhere along the west of the country. Though the further northwest you go the worse the roads get and the harder places get to find. I'd stick to Cork and Kerry because they are very easy to get around and are very tourist friendly. If you are staying in the eastern part of the country then Wicklow offers the best as far as scenery is concerned and is highly accessable from a tourist's point of view as far as buses, hotels, guesthouses etc. are concerned. That's it basicly. Stay out of the centre of the country because the closer you get to the centre of Ireland the more bland and boring everything gets. Trust me I'm from there.

West coast is great. Kerry, Clare, Galway, Sligo and Donegal. Dublin is expensive and like all cities. I am a resident there. On the East side I would visit Wicklow and Wexford has excellent beaches.
