Check if you are specially insured for Northern Ireland if you plan to drive there.

How to get to Ireland by Sea
The other way of getting to Ireland is by sea. Some Irish cities, including Dublin, are ports of call for passing ships, and ferries from Liverpool and other British ports make regular runs too. There are ferry services between Stranraer in Scotland and Liverpool to Belfast. Cork receives ferries from St. Malo, Cherbourg and Le Havre in France.

Tourist Attraction
There are several sites you just have to see when you travel to Ireland – from the windswept Cliffs of Moher to the rain-soaked Aran Islands. If ancient history is your thing, Ireland has plenty of it: try Newgrange or the Hill of Tara in County Meath. For sheer unadulterated, natural, beauty try the Giant’s Causeway or the entire county of Kerry. But there is more to Ireland than countryside and rocks, as any number of attractions in Dublin, such as Trinity College and the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin, make clear.
