Suggestions for Ireland trip

One place I want to visit in Ireland is Skellig Michael, a small island off the southwest coast, where the monks lived in very spartan conditions.

If you are visiting Ireland, and you want to see the Giant's Causeway, the Cliffs of Moher, Wicklow et al - you need to know that the roads in Ireland do not allow you to drive more than around 40 mph. We don't have the motorways / freeways that other nations have (and when we do, they suddenly turn into small country roads!).

I suggest a week or two at least, and HIRE A CAR.

If you wear your kilt, you will get plenty of attention, but they will assume you are Scottish!

Enjoy
