August is normally the warmest month. We always suggest the layered approach. Slacks, long sleeved cotton blouses and shirts, a sweater and a lightweight jacket works well. Ladies, if you would like to bring a dress or skirt that s fine too. This is a pretty casual trip and you can wear slacks just about anywhere.
Comfort is the most important consideration, especially in shoes.
The Irish Punt is divided into 100 pense. The exchange rate during the last several weeks has been very good for travelers. All major credit cards are accepted at most hotels, restaurants, and larger stores. So if you re staying over and traveling, you might want to check that out. For hair dryers, curling irons, travel irons, etc., an adapter plug is necessary and can be bought at a good electrical or travel supply store.
