Its worth making Wexford your base for a day or two, while the town is not exactly picturesque Ireland, you can take a boat to the Saltee Islands which are unpopulated and a bird reserve, and also Ballyteige Bay. I'm afraid I dont know what you will find there specifically, but the area is bigged up as a major area for birding.
The Burren (nr Galway) is an absolute must, I could spend a lifetime walking there. Never-ending limestone pavements and the associted flora, probably the finest example of that geology anywhere in the world.
A few days doing the Ring of Kerry is also highly recommended (preferrably on a motorbike, but a car will suffice ). If you made your base Killarny or Cahersiveen you will have more bird reserves within a 30 mile radius that you can shake a stick at (the ones near Cahersiveen are mostly a boat ride away to uninhabited islands - Great and Little Skellig, Puffin Island).
Id check before going whether boat services will be running when you are there to avoid dissapointment - even then though, the weather will often mess you about.

Some great suggestions there. I like the motorcycle bit too but only have scooter license. Hana is well into boat trips and spends alot of time at sea off Croatia so she will be interested in this I know.

Yep-I'd defo agree on this one. I went to a talk about the area recently and it's full of rarities(butterflies/flowers) and as I know you like structure in your photos, it would be ideal because of the rock formation and ancient settlements. There's also beautiful coastal scenery.
It also depends on what your companions have on their mind of course.

Sounds like a must see.
