One thing that needs to be said and can not be said enough, if you love history this is your place to visit.
The first evidence of human presence in Ireland is from about 33,000 years ago. Because of this the history is rich in Ireland. Littered throughout the country are castles you can visit and if you stray off the path, maybe you can find some very old human living situations or gravesites.
When you visit most of the historical sites there will usually be a guide talking and giving facts about the place. Almost everywhere you will go will have some sort of historical significance because of how deep the roots run in Ireland.
