OK, here is our itinerary(at least as far as sleeping is concerned).  I would greatly appreciate any comments on any of the below:

Arrival in Shannon Airport, June 24th

I've reserved 4 nights in Ennis at the Stone Haven B&B ($44pp a night)

I've reserved 4 nights outside Killarney (Caherbarnagh, Rathmore) at a B&B called Molly's (looks like an old stone farmhouse -- this is our 'rustic' B&B choice.($47pp a night)

I've reserved 3 nights in Kilkenny at Alcantra ($48pp a night)

For Dublin, I would LIKE to reserve O'Neills for the 3 nights we are there.  We plan on arriving on July 5th, and leaving the afternoon of the 8th, heading back to Shannon for a final night there before our flight back.  They have everything I was looking for in a place -- centrally located yet not too noisy, affordable, breakfast included, three single beds in their triple, recommended by a local I know.  However, every time I try to book it says that I can't just stay Friday night -- I have to stay Saturday night too :(  Any suggestions?  I've emailed them in inquiry, but haven't heard back yet...
