The program will fly into Shannon and travel up the west coast, first to Doolan, and from there to the W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory sites in Mayo; on to Sligo. In Sligo the program will stay in the Yeats Village, visiting the numerous stone-age sites in the area. From Sligo the students will travel to the east coast to Dublin, from which the program will conduct day trips. The group will depart from Dublin after fourteen days in Ireland.
