Where to visit in Ireland? Transportation?
I'd like to visit Ireland next year (sometime in April) where would you recommend I visit? I'd like to see a little bit of city, but mostly rural and village areas. My ancestors are from Inishowen, so I might stop there for a bit. My trip will probably be about 10-12 days.
Also, is it better to travel by train/bus or rent a car? Which would be more expensive?

Ireland transportation? Do Luas go to Galway?
I am trying to find the best way to get from the Dublin Internation Airport to Galway without using a car. I am very confused about it all. First, what is the best way? And second does Luas go to Galway? I thought it did but I dont see this stop in their website. Does anyone have a good site that I can get information on? Ive tried several that arent very helpful. Thanks!
