there really is so much.. maybe if you decided the area you were going to visit and then check out the historical sites in and around that area

There are also lots of ancient buriel sites around ireland, such as Dolmens and court cairns etc, most are in the northern half of ireland
So far it all sounds pretty exciting.

newgrange in meath is a must see as is the hill of tara, kilkenny castle, glenda lough in wicklow to name but a fewthe largest dolmen in europe is in carlow
It would be nice to visit an old castle, always wanted to see one in real life.

You could always try the Harp Bar in D'Olier Street, Its closed down now for years, but it is pretty historic I believe its the last pub in Dublin that Ciaran64 bought a drink

Most castles were built by british settlers

Hey Taino
If an old castle is what your looking for and to see it as it was then Trim in co meath is the place...its also close to where the battle of the boyne took place and Brian Boru stopped there .. the castle is perfectly preserved and if you want to see then watch Braveheart the film with Mel gibson.. the main castle scenes were shot there.. its fab.. it was abandoned by the family who owned it in 1610 and years and years of rubble and dirt built up inside preserving it when they removed all the soil and dirt they found a perfect castle just as it was.. its really interesting to do the tour of it... if you google it you will see it..
County meath has tons of historical sights a few were mentioned in previous posts.. hill of tara where the high kings of ireland sat and newgrange are great places to visit and beautiful...lucky to live so close to them...
hope this helps...
Trealach: And don't forget Dáil Eireann ...... it's the last place where the Civil War is still being fought
well you have dublin castle,ring of kerry,blarney castle,cliffs of moher,rock of cashel,,kylemore abbey and theirs nearly in a small castle in every county in ireland
