did it 6yrs ago, loved the place, we stayed in Wicklow, small port down from Dublin, people very friendly made us feel most welcome, roads on the other hand *****, it takes twice as long to get anywhere over there than it does in the uk

If your going in May I'd strongly recommend trying to go and watch the 'North West 200' it's on the 15th May this year.

Yes it is, but well worth the trip up there and as others have suggested could go see the giants causeway and various other stuff up there

I will agree with Leslie, up in the north they have UK roads. The south is a different story but improving from what I hear.

Racing wise, everyone should pay a visit and watch either

1. North West 200 - 8th to 15th May 2010 - Portrush, Port Stewart and Coleraine racing at it's best

2. Ulster Grand Prix - 11th to 14th August 2010 - Dundrod, Lisburn. This is full on road racing. When you see the roads you'll know how the Joey Dunlop was so good.

Both are great to watch and well worth the trip.

I live in Dublin and I'll admit the roads aren't the best and after the frost its even worse. Was driving through the Wicklow mts yesterday and I was shocked at the damage the cold has done. But with that in mind riding in Ireland isn't all about the roads your on, if it was you'd be in the Alps.
