I just joined this site yesterday. I found out about it from a person I met traveling to London in Nov. of this year. I was interested in finding out where to donate the travel kits that are given out in 1st and Business Class as I have quite a few of them. Anyway thanks for the info on Ireland.

There's a couple of outfits that do day tours, so a little Googling around will help. You could do a day trip to Ireland's southeast region of Counties Wexford, Waterford and Kilkenny. You could do one up to Belfast, and catch an interesting black taxi tour there. Or, you could snag a day trip thru the beautiful Wiklow Mountains area.
I'd recommend either a day tour or renting a car yourself and taking in the Cliffs Of Moher (incredible!) and Galway Bay, Burren, etc.
If you're not confined to Dublin for both days--free to overnight between the two days somewhere else--that's deifnitely something to consider.
