stay away from Dublin if you want cheap. Everything is very expensive in town. Your best bet would be to sign up for travelzoo weekly top 20 and watch for Ireland car/b and b packages to come up. Also check AerLingus for packages. B and Bs will be the most inexpensive way to stay (and there's squillions of them about!)

For hotel deals, try to stay over a bank holiday weekend. Nearly every hotel in the country will have some kind of bank holiday weekend special rates , some inclusive of dinner.

Gas is WICKED expensive (right now close to 6 bucks a gallon - 1 Euro 10 cent per liter) so rent the smallest car you can and still be comfortable. Automatic transmission cars will really add an expense to your trip - sometimes double the rental cost of manual tranmission cars.

Pub food is the cheapest way to go and often times the tastiest. I had the best mussels EVER in a pub in Carlingford for 6 euro! I suppose you could also aquaint yourself with Abrakababra (donor kabab?)

Most definitely purchase a Heritage card. As of January the purchase price was 20 euro and this will get you admission into over 65 heritage sites around Ireland for 1 year. Newgrange alone will cost you 12.50! Very well worth it. Check out details on www.duchas.ie

All in all, any money spent on a holiday in Ireland is money well spent. It's a beautiful, magical country. Best of luck and enjoy your trip!

that really depends on where you would be coming from. Canada, U.S., England, Australia, and what times. Deals change everyday. Keep checking prices at places at Expedia.com

Good luck

If your going to travel around when you get there, I recomend you go to Dublin, but its very expensive, Wicklow, Kilkenny, Kerry and Galway. they are just some of the nicest places.

In order to save money in travel across the island, the bus is the best way to go, by far cheaper and with more destinations that the train. The national bus company is called Bus Eireann at www.buseireann.ie. As for places to stay, try hostels, www.hostelbookers.com. If you are not into the hostel scene, still use the site, it will indicate nice, affordable private rooms, abet not with a lot of bells or whistles, but of course you are there to see the country, not the room.

Dublin is definitely the most fun city but it is very expensive, though at the moment most of Ireland is. You're probably better to go to northern Ireland its much cheaper! Even us dubs head north for a cheap weekend. Don't forget they use pound sterling not the euro!!!
