Aer Arann take dogs, think charge is about €25. You'd have to check routes though. You can email them from the website and they're very helpful usually reply in about 3-5 days.

Yes, as said above, Aer Arann will accept dogs. They charge €25 per sector. They fly to Sligo and Galway from Manchester so could suit you.
