If you suddenly came into some money where in Ireland would you go? (just traveling around doesn't count) I'd have to go with. WHat about everyone else??

I'd very much like to visit pre-Christian era sites like Newgrange. It's a sort of megalithic structure that's about 5,000 years old and was likely built before the Celts arrived. No one is certain what it was built for, but it is aligned with the rising solstice sun as are a lot of these structures.

Newgrange is a passage tomb built around 2300 BC. The Celts arrived around 500 B.C./350 B.C.

I'd love to do a coarse at the Ballymaloe Cooking School. I have been to A Taste of Dublin and had the lcuk to sit in on a session with Darina Allen and she is hilarious and inspirational.

I would want to travel around ireland and really get to know the country but I would start in Cork, then probably Kerry and Clare and then round to Galway, finally ending up with several weeks in Dublin. I would actually love to get a good job and settle over there.

Probably Clare, a few years back we discovered that was where our grandfather migrated from, and from what my brother has said we still have family there as he visited with them on one of his many trips to Ireland. My other brother was in Dublin last year and brought back pictures. But unless I inherit lots of money I will always dream of going.

I'd go to Dublin, because its the capital. I'd also want to see a few of the cities my best friend visited when she did her semester abroad, because she really enjoyed them. And finally, I'd like to visit Limerick, the hometown of author Frank McCourt (Angela's Ashes). By the way...I LOVE your avatar. Dragon Quest games are awesome.

I'd go back to Lenanne - a hidden small village north of Galway that is unlike any other area in Ireland. It's at the end of, I think, the only fjord in Ireland. Water in front - mountains in back. Beautiful!!

i would go to Cork. I have a friend that lives in Cork. From the pictures I've seen and from what she's told me, it's absolutely amazing. She says it's like a small dublin but it also has country sides. the best of both worlds.

I'd love to visit the Skelligs and see the Puffins and the other birds that nest there. Hopefully I'll get to do that this year. I'm planning on travelling around Ireland this year as there's so much of it I haven't seen yet.
