Deburca98 Maybe you are right, but at the end of the day Ireland is Ireland and there is a N/S/E/W of the country and I was refering in my question, to the Southern half of the country, anything wrong in that.
Thank you all for your contributions.

Co Clare, Co Kerry or Cork is supposed to be nice.
Northern Ireland (esp. around the North / Antrim coast is beautiful) Not overly expensive. Lots of campsites / B&B's around Portrush / Portstewart. You can travel into Donegal in Southern Ireland and Fermanagh from there if you have a car.
Best to go on a touring holiday rather than a week in one place.

The West and the South West - Galway, Clare, Limerick, Kerry and Cork. The business! The towns and cities are maybe a bit more expensive than the countryside, but you would need to hire a car to travel long distances as the public transport in the west does leave a lot to be desired. But if you're thinking of staying in the same area, hire a bike and then you needn't worry about those great big fattening breakfasts.

First of all you will be very welcome but please understand that there is no such place as Southern Ireland. It is the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland which is a part of the U.K.
If you can give some idea of what you are interested in it would be easier to answer. Many people like the bustle of a big city and want to see Dublin. If you want scenery Donegal is the most beautiful. If you want rugged scenery and lots of space without people Connemara is good.
Add further info to your question and I will be more specific. Visit www.discoverireland.ie and you might get more ideas

Cork and Kerry! Guaranteed to be the best holiday that you will ever have! Expensive? Depends how much Murphy's that you drink!
And for the best food in your life, go to The Mills Inn, in Balleyvourney, on the Cork-Killarney road! And no, it's not expensive.

Go to Galway and dont forget to take a boattrip out to
the Aran Islands and see the "Old Ireland".
Expensive ? About the same as the UK.

county clare is wonderful if its the great outdoors you like , stayed there a week in a farmhouse and it was great , the locals couldnt do enough for you and were very friendly
but if its more of an exciting holiday with bars and lots going on then dublin is the place
i found it about the same prices as any city in scotland
all the best

i agree with what deburka said, albeit he seems a little bitter about it haha. im irish n take no offence when some-one who is not from ireland n does not know it's history refers to it as southern ireland and not by its proper title. anyways, to answer the question, i'd recommend visiting dublin city and then travelling slightly north of it to the beautiful county of meath. with the hill of tara, newgrange, the town of kells which is where the book of kells originated of course, and it's many round towers, meath really is a great tourist destination. check out the website http://www.meath.ie for all the info you'll need about tourist sites, accomodation and everything alse you'll need for your holiday, hope this helps
