I will be visiting Ireland for the first time next month. The half of me that is Irish is particularly looking forward!

We'll be taking a full day to drive from Kinsale to Dingle. Do any FlyerTalkers have recommendations of towns worth stopping in along the way, as well as suggestions for any other recommended stops or side trips during this drive? Excluding stops, roughly how long should we expect this drive to take? Thanks much for any insights!
