There's a lot of green to cover when you visit Ireland. For a first time visitor, it's hard to know when to go, where to go, what to do and where to stay.
I highly recommend that *new* visitors to Ireland sign up for a carousel tour of the country. Many tour providers offer such a tour--however, a good one is Trafalgar Tours (www.trafalgartours.com). In such a tour you will get a broad overview of Ireland, see many, if not all of the most popular attractions, and do so in a safe, comfortable manner that will not weigh heavy on your pocketbook/purse.
