Dublin Airport has more flights, hence the suppy is greater and prices are probably lower to get there from the US. Also, I find Dublin easier to get public transport from. You can easily go form the airport to the Busaras (main bus station in Dublin) or to Heuston Station (to get the train west to Galway). The train station closest to Shannon would be Limerick or Ennis and the route does not go directly to Galway, in fact the tracks head east. To get to Galway, you would have to change trains. If you go from Shannon, you are better catching a bus. From Shannon Airport, it is €12.60 one way, and return fare (round-trip) is €18.00. Dublin to Galway is 3 1/2-4 hours. Shannon to Galway via bus is about 2 hours. The bus fare to Galway from Dublin is €16.20 adult return fare or €12.60 one way.
In sum....check flights to Dublin, they may be cheaper. If you fly to Shannon, take the bus, not the train . Aer Arann does not have a flight from or Shannon to Galway, but you can fly form Dublin if you wanted, to Galway, from about € 39.99.
