I think you have the overall pace about right. I imagine that the sequencing of things in Dingle and Galway is not set in stone.

I suppose you are aware that the Gap of Dunloe is near Killarney, 90 minutes or more from Dingle.

The only thing I would say is that the drive from Dublin to Kinsale is quite long. Maybe consider staying some place in between the two.

It's long enough, but by no means difficult. It might be a problem if one starts jet-lagged, but otherwise no.

If you start in the morning, you can visit the Rock of Cashel en route, pop into Cahir to see the castle, survive the traffic congestion around Cork, and still be in Kinsale in time for dinner.
