What is the best way to travel Ireland independantly?
I am trying to help my brother plan his trip to Ireland May 2008. He already purchased tickets and will be traveling with one friend. He is a 21 year old college student seeking economical travel, willing to stay in hostils, and hoping to see many things in Ireland. Any suggestions how/where to start planning. Things to do/look for or not to do/look for? How to find info on Hostils, or travel suggestions? THANKS!

Sounds good – first of all go to the website of Bord Failte Eireann for hostels, B&Bs etc. Might be best if you can hire a car – public transport beyond the main routes (and on some of them) is still not up to main European standards.

Things to do? Dublin and Galway are a must, and try to hear Irish traditional music – also, this means you’ll be enjoying some fun pub nights. Go to a GAA hurling or Gaelic football match, try a day’s sea fishing, get to a race meeting if you can.

That’s just for starters – any ideas, anyone else?
