In 1991, June and July, for two months I stayed in Ireland. For one month I stayed in Dun Laoghaire (pronounce Dun Lairy) I was struck with a very bad cold there so I had to stay there. The memory in Ireland is not very good. I climbed the mountain called 'Sugar Loaf' located near Dun Laoghaire with a woman who I happened to encounter at the harbour of Dun Laoghaire the very day I landed from Hollyhead in Wales by ship called Straener I recall.
I recommend you to visit Sugar Loaf, which is not a high mountain, or rather just a hill of 300 or 400 metres. It would be defenitely a very good excursion to go with your beloved.
Apart from that I visited every nuke and cranny deep inside Ireland, but not Rathlin Island. For example, Currick-on-Barrow, which is a destination I took a bus at random. I never forget the scene of Saltee Islands from the hill of the village.
Limerick was very secular city. Driver's license in any country is valid. Belfast was still very dangerous those days, I think situations are greatly changed. I used mostly B&B for accomodation, I recommend staying the ones 'recommended by sightseeing ministry', otherwise it might not be comfortable. Hitchhiking is lawful, but I had no courage to do so. And one thing to add. Wherever I were, the wind was very strong. I visited Drogheda, Kinsale, where Irish were defeated by English completely. Thinking back the bygone days, I was just overwhelmed.
