I bet you're right about when to get to Ireland cheaply, Cliff. Not sure where you're located, but cheap flights to Europe can be hard to come by when you're on the extreme west coast as I am. You'd do best to simply plan well in advance, and utilize proven methods, like having a flexible schedule (being able to leave and return midweek rather than on the weekend) and being able to accept the ol' red-eye. I imagine most flights to Dublin from where I am are red-eye at some point in the flight.
