+1 for Cork, although I've always enjoyed Dublin when I've been there too.

If your going south beyond Dublin to Bray/Wicklow then go a wee bit further to Wexford and Waterford but anywhere in Ireland is goooood

Cork is nice and not too far from Dublin

I've been to the West Coast and that's really nice.The Cliffs of Mohen are one place you should go if you can. Breathtaking.

Wherever you go you will find you always get a good welcome wherever you go

If you do go, take your wet weather gear, as Ireland is green for a very good reason

Wow, thats the sort of thing I would like to see and be surrounded by

DP - not so sure on details yet, probably a long weekend (four days, maybe 5 at a stretch). Definatly wont be on bikes, and likley to go in june I'd like to say at a nice hotel or nice B&B, im sure maria would aswell its nice to experiance the high-life...even if only just once!

but its a long way off yet, lots to plan but it'd be nice to have an idea of where to go. I'll read a bit more about Cork

thanks everyone so far

Visit biker.ie , and use the SEARCH button.

Be careful on the roads, the recent weather will have created a lot of potholes.
