I'll second this. I went to the exhibition solely because it was one of those things the kids wanted to do. Was indifferent beforehand with a it's just a boat, it sunk attitude. But was really surprised at just how good an exhibition it is. Same. One of the best tourist attraction I've ever visited.
Honestly. I'd be give Dublin a day and a night. Nothing more. I don't think your going to get a sense of Ireland in Dublin of all the cities there. I'd seriously recommend Belfast. For me the best city in Ireland.
Don't leave without seeing a game of Hurling and/or a game of Gaelic Football. Simply put the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) is at the heartbeat of the nation. First rule is simple. You play from where you're from. Parish or county. Depending what part of Spring you'll with either catch the latter stages of the league or early stages of championship. Ask the locals and let yourself be guided by them.

British Isles. Yes. Just a geographical term.
