Another vote for Slea Head Drive on Dingle Peninsula also on Dingle the views from Greenmount House Guesthouse.
Connemara, the drive R344 along Lough Inagh between two Mt. ranges. It starts or finishes in Recess.

I agree that pretty much any place on Dingle is incredibly scenic. Also agree with the Lough Inagh area, which *has* to be experienced in 360 degrees to appreciate. Photos never do it justice.
My personal favorite though (for the sake of discussion, since the thread is so old), is from the Healey Pass on Beara. It's amazing how it changes as you pass the top, the Cork side barren, the Kerry side lush.

Looking to your left as you face the Kerry side:

And best (IMO), straight ahead off to Kerry:
