When is your Ireland?
The warmest months and by far the longest days — light lingers past ten in the evening in June, which effectively gives you an extra half-day for driving and walking. Everything is open, ferries to the islands run reliably, and it is the busiest and priciest season.
Long days without peak crowds or peak prices, gorse and hedgerows in flower in May, and September often the driest and most settled month of the year. Island ferries and most attractions are still running. If you have a free choice, take these.
Colour in Killarney and Wicklow, empty coastal roads and low prices. Daylight shortens quickly, Atlantic storms become more frequent, and some island ferries and rural attractions begin to reduce or close for the season.
Mild rather than cold but dark by half past four, with genuine Atlantic storms on the west coast. Dublin, Cork and Galway stay lively and cheap, and St Patrick's Day in March is a national event — but a driving tour of the west is not the trip to plan for these months.

Irish visa — what you need to know
Ireland is in the European Union but it is not in the Schengen area, and it runs its own visa system. A Schengen visa does not admit you to Ireland. Indian passport holders need an Irish visa — and the timeline is far longer than for the Schengen countries, which is the single most important thing on this page.
Fee and processing, as the Irish authorities publish them Irish Immigration Service Delivery publishes visa fees of €60 for single entry, €100 for multi entry and €25 for transit, and states the fee cannot be refunded if the application is refused or withdrawn; additional document-submission charges may apply and some categories are exempt. The Embassy of Ireland in India publishes indicative processing times by category — a visit application at six to eight weeks, business, conference or event at four weeks, and study at four to eight weeks — while stating these are not guaranteed and that some applications take longer. Crucially, processing time runs from the date of receipt in the Embassy rather than the date of lodgement at the visa application centre, and the Embassy asks applicants to add two-way document transit times on top. It advises applying up to ninety days before travel. Fees and timeframes are set by the authorities and change — confirm both when you apply. Final visa decisions remain with the relevant authorities.
