Helping our friend plan his one week solo trip to Ireland in April. He wants to go to Dublin & Dingle, flying into Dublin and home from Shannon. He doesn't want to take a group tour. But he does hope to meet and mingle and enjoy Celtic music and good food. He doesn't mind driving alone though he appreciates it would be easier with a companion to navigate.
I remember our very long (7 hour) stressful drive from Dublin to Dingle Town ten years ago and so I'm wondering if anyone can perhaps suggest a train route from Dublin to, Limerick or Tralee (or via some other point), where he could pick up a rental car to use for Dingle, perhaps Ennis, Cliffs of Moher (other West Coast suggestions) for a few days before returning the car to the airport at Shannon.
Dublin to Dingle by Train + Car?

Try getting the train from Dublin to Killarney or the stop near Kerry Airport. Go Bus from Dublin Airport to Galway then a bus to Shannon Airport.
There is a whole lot more to Ireland than a peninsula that makes up just 4% of the Islands area. The beginning of April this year is Easter so Dingle will be tourist central.
