Take at least six months out of your life, hire a bow-top wagon and horse, and learn how to appreciate all that has been expressed in other answers. Get to feel the warmth and generous nature of both the people and the country, and hopefully you can come away understanding what drives people to such extremes of passion to keep what they feel is their own in the way they feel is best!!
All of the answers you have given are correct, so you can't go wrong can you!
Enjoy!

By car definitly. If you cant drive, travel it using a bus. Train fare is very expensive and you see less of the countryside this way.

uh, try going there. that always a good way.

By aeroplane, unless you are afraid of heights, of course, then you should take the boat, unless you are afraid of water, of course, then you shold discover it using the internet, unless you are a technophobe, of course, then you should just visit the library, unless you have a fear of open space, of course. God, I am so bored.

Do what I did and pick a nice city to base yourself in, such as Limerick, Ennis, Cork or Dublin, and rent a car. Do day trips around the countryside, looking for interesting sites, such as the Cliffs of Moher, Glendalough, the Burren or some castle, and make stops along the way as you see things that are interesting.

Get there, find a pub and get absolutely lashed and see where you end up. You'll probably get woken up by the gentle licks of some smiling wild horses on a beach who will give you a ride on a rainbow to meet a lepracorn who'll give you a pot of gold for you to get some new clothes and a silly oversized green hat, and still have enough left over to hit the pub and do the whole thing all over again. Repeat until flight home.

I live in ireland,and i recomend car in the countrside and bike and public transport in Dublin, because of the traffic congestion. I also think you should visit some places such as newgrange, but it is expensive to get in, and you may have to book in advance. you should prepare for rain, and lots of it.

Do it on a bicycle. There are some great guides to riding in Ireland. There are a few places you might want hiking boots too.

My Mum and Dad hired a horse and trailer. The trailer provided the accommodation. They really enjoyed themselves. One of the main attraction's to Ireland is the slow pace and with a horse and cart you really get into that way of life. Keep an eye on the weather.

Your to late Ireland has already been discovered.......

Hope

Use a map!! Though seriously try one of th websites. Its a fabulous country with truly nice people. Had a holiday there with my family two years ago and we all enjoyed it; my eldest daughter now wants to go live there when she grows up.

well suppose you could go there but best method is to find Leprechaun snd steal pot of gold ,and see were he leads you to maybe a rainbow , its very very green due to the rainfall leprechaun might have umbrella. Nice place Dublin is magical have fun and find pot of gold at end of rainbow

We went in our camper van.

It is a bit higher up than a car so you can see over hedgerows and don't miss any of the great scenery.

If it rains and it does in Ireland you stay dry and you don't have to worry about pitching a tent.

You can go any where and we did, from the end of the road where it leads right into the sea. On the beach, even the top of mountains with fine views over the valleys.

I agree when we went to Dublin we parked up at a nearby camp site and caught the local train into Dublin.

Then just got out into Ireland and walk to see the all the sights.

well by bike or car

bored2day

it really depends on what your into, cycling would be a good way to discover but driving would be equally beneficial if your not the cycling kind. www.ireland.ie, www.tourismireland.com and www.discovernorthernireland are good sites. www.irlgov.ie is the government website. If you call (belfast) 02890 265500 you can get some info on particular things over the phone.
Enjoy!

I think that the best way to discover Ireland is by car as you can don't have to be depending on buses or trains. You can rent a car at the airport when you arrive to Ireland.

If you have a look at the web site http://www.ireland.ie/ you will find lots of information in relation to places you can visit in Ireland and things to do.

Go there

Realistically by car, because of the weather changes! http://www.ebstudio.net/irelandbycar/

Travel : )))....

imcinternationalinc

by bicycle and tent or bed & breakfast.
Dont forget a very good camera

goodbye and good luck :-)

Well the best way to discover ireland if you are looking for cheap accomodation etc is to go by coach and use youth hostels...VERY cheap and fun but watch your stuff!

The coast (west) is gorgeous and don't be afraid to go all over the country..I suggest a round trip from Dublin to Dublin again and the people are so friendly. ASK them for help. :-) Enjoy!
