From Dublin head directly to Cork, N7 to M7 then M8 direct to Cork and then Kinsale (4hours). For me this is a great place to start the Wild Atlantic Way starting South and heading North.
The Old Head of Kinsale is an area to see moving West into Courtmacsherry then Clonakilty, Schull, Bantry and end up in Castletownbear. I spend the night camping in the Hungry Hill campsite, basic utilities but friendly and full of info. This is the Beara Peninsula and full of hidden gems. Most of the towns along the way are medium to small in sizes, all will have a good flow of pubs, food and plenty of petrol stations along the way.
