I'd go for Galway if I were you. Best city in Ireland IMHO. It has great pubs and there always seems to be a good atmoshphere around the town. My sister spent 3 years in college there and loved it.

Galway is meant to be a student city. 20% of the population are students or something like that.

Probably easier to understand over Cork people as well
