10. If you rent a car, get the smallest one that will fill your needs... The roads are really REALLY

narrow. I can't tell you how many times we met an on coming car and had to back up to a place to let him pass. I had a euro version of a Nissan rogue. Called a Qashqai. In Ireland it was huge vehicle. Ireland is relatively small.. About the size of Indiana.From the Sligo on the west coast to Dublin on the east coast is only 3 ½ hrs by train.. I had to make my Guinness pilgrimage
I should have gotten a Mini, or Audi a3... So much to see and do. In the west, north west there are places in Connamara that people still only speak Irish... Irish radio stations and Irish TV programs also. They have been teaching the Irish language in schools for years. Many signs are bi lingual... You'll have a blast. And just in case the fecal material hits the rotating oscillator get your irish citizenship....
Oh and BTW I'm not Irish!! but I love the place.. And they kinda sorta speak english.. Two countries divided by a common language
