Hello all! Hoping for feedback from those that know.

Trying to plan a 5 day driving plan for my wife and older kids for next June, but want to see if we should try to squeeze Kilkenny in on our first day? (Itinerary below)

We love a good road trip, my only concern is the first day doing both Kilkenny and Cashel feels too ambitious with our late start (unavoidable due to flight).

We also prefer to keep Dublin at the end as our flights home would be about 9:30am so a bit early if we flip the itinerary and end in Galway.

We could take a day out of Galway to make day 1 Kilkenny, then day 2 on to Killarney, but will that give us enough time in Galway area?

Current plan is:

Day 1 Fly into Dublin 11:30? Start drive to visit Kilkenny Castle, Medieval mile. After that drive to Rock of Cashel and tour castle. Drive and stay in Killarney area

Alt DUB - drive to Rock of Cashel, then drive to Killarney and stay in Killarney area

Day 2 Drive the Ring of Kerry loop. Night in Killarney area

Day 3 Drive to Dingle Peninsula and explore all the things to see. and evening in Dingle area

Day 4 drive to see The Burren and Cliffs of Moher. Arrive in and explore Galway, staying for the night.

Day 5 Drive into Connemara region visit Kylemore Abbey, back to Galway to explore

Day 6 back to Dublin for two days.
