It's a big deal sporting wise and given the size of the stadium you can just walk up and get a ticket. Equivalent would be Calder Cup final. Both games would be 2-5 so it wouldn't interfere with your drinking and imo is a better spectacle than the parades (unless that is your thing). Pubs around the stadium are great and will be filled with match goers pre and post game for good fun.
Otherwise, my advice seriously is go another time. March can be a pretty miserable month there weather wise.

Giant causeway, and carrick-a-reed rope bridge area in northern ireland is great, same with the black cab tours in belfast.
The island of innishmore was great, rent bikes there and tour around
Inch had a great beach
Blarney castle was great, so is Boyne Valley, The Burren is neat. Cashel rock is very cool, but you can overdo castles.
Ring of Kerry is a must.
Hurling is amazing if you can catch a game, saw waxford play dublin in kilkenny (playoff games on neutral turf). It was fascinating, Ask the person you see with the most scars how the game is played.
Rent a car and Drive the island. Do bed and breakfasts the whole time
