My fiance and I are planning a honeymoon to Ireland in September 2013, and have never been there before. We are thinking of flying in/out of Dublin, spending 3 days there. Then travelling to Galway, Connamara, Cliffs of Moher etc. We are spending around 10 days total, but would rather travel by train than drive a car. I don't think we need to spend 7 days in Galway area...possibly only 3-4, but where else could we travel without being too rushed? I've looked into Ring of Kerry/Killarney, is that too much to see for the remaining time? We could also travel to Killarney before Galway if that makes more sense travel wise before returning to Dublin.

10 days splits into 3x3 + last night at an Airport Hotel. Dublin, Galway and Killarney would be my options. They all offer localised tours but travel between would amount to a full day using public transport.
I have driven around ireland twice and it saved me a lot of time waiting for buses and trains. Or scheduling around train or bus schedules. Food for thought. Dublin is a great place to Fly in and out of. I would plan 3 days total there 2 at beginning and last night there.
I love Galway, Belfast (often overlooked due to it being Northern Ireland), Dingle Peninsula.
