    Dublin can provide some attractions - the zoo, museums (not completely lost on children), National Aquatic Centre (you can make a whole day of it).

    With Trabolgan, if you have a car, you can tour the coast, go to Fota Wildlife Park, go into Cork.

    I think the most important thing is to have something for the child to do, not just dragged around after the parents touring a country house or whatever.

    What about an adventure sports type place that takes kids?

    what about horse riding, there are stables that run weekend and week long breaks, or hotels that run them too as far asi remeber.

    Most 8 year old girls would be thrill at the idea of such a break.

    Yeah my little girl has done horse riding before and she loved it, big time (even after falling on her head)

    That might be it, might do that or find some place that includes horse riding as an activity for the children. Hell even I will do it :)
