I thought that General Aviation flying was banned in Ireland???? Or will that only happen when the JAR rules come in?
Whirly, I would suggest a round the country route, starting in Waterford (Customs etc) going over to Farranfore, up the coast to Galway and the Aran Islands, on up to Sligo, back across to Abbeyshrule and Weston, clear customs and cross back home.
Try to avoid Dublin / Cork / Shannon, they charge a fortune to land there. Get a good B&B guide and have a blast!
