I was in Dublin for St. Patrick's Day so I didn't really do much of the typical sightseeing (I did a lot more craft beer markets, parades, live music, etc). We did manage a nice walk around Trinity College and St. Stephen's Green, both beautiful. As for outside Dublin, Galway and the Cliffs of Moher were my favorite spots. Renting a car and doing the loop Roughneck suggested would surely be a nice trip.

Flights are available to Manchester with Ryanair (from Dublin) or EasyJet (from Belfast) for practically free (though you will have to pay actual money to check a bag) so Old Trafford should be quite doable.

Edinburgh was one of my favorite cities in all of Europe and is a perfect gateway to the North (Isle of Skye, Loch Ness, Glen Coe, St. Andrews and so on). Flying there is also spectacularly cheap. Another option would be a rental car and to drive all across the UK and Ireland. This would obviously be time dependent and I'm not totally sure of the ferry costs and such.

Have fun, I'm sure you'll love it there!
