Hey all! thanks for the great advice! I haven't been to the Isles for about 8 years--- but have a friend that wants to go.
Really appreciate your help!

When you say you want to fly to Ireland for cheap which would be the off season have you considered fully the miserable weather that Ireland can have. Coming in the summertime really does increase your chances of seeing a lot more of the country and enjoying the trip more. It might be more expensive to fly that time but if I were you I'd come when the weather was the best. Generally the spring in Ireland is pretty cold and wet and for some reason the past few years have seen a much nicer September and October (drier and brighter anyway). Oh and if I were you I wouldn't mention "the isles" while in Ireland - people generally don't like it. Have a great trip anyway!
