re: Ireland with kids

Four kids with one under two sounds like a lot for Dublin. However, get out of the City and Ireland is a beautiful country with wonderful people. If your family enjoys history and outdoor activities, go for it. Again, I would limit my time in the city and might skip it altogether with the exception of the airport. I would fly into Dublin, rent a van, and head south and west. First stop might be Glendalough for some light hiking in the Wicklow mountains. Just west of there you would Kilkenny which is an awesome small town that little ones could walk the street with you and not get completely worn out. After that, Rock of Cashel was very interesting for a day trip and then you could head slight north to Limerick with some cool family friendly attractions and a great "old city". I would then head west to Doolin for a visit to the Cliffs of Mohr. Finally, head South to Dingle for a few nights as it is a great little town with an amazing coast. You could do 1-2 nights in each of these places and stretch Dingle to 3 nights for a great 10 day trip.
