In general in Ireland driving is the best option in terms of transport.

There is public transport to get between cities and aiports, but for travelling between smaller towns and villages the public transport is not as reliable or available.

Car rental is available at airports.

Options to fly to Dublin or Cork airport.

Dublin is more accessible in terms of public transport and more flight options.

Cork airport is much smaller and generally easier to navigate, but tricky without a car.
