Help me decide between Cliffs of Moher and ring of Kerry or going north toGiants Causeway and area

Hi friends! I had a vision during a mediation of me standing on top of a cliff in front of a raging storm above and mass of crushing waves bellow. I knew I had to go to Ireland. Booked the tickets for 6 days almost immediately without much thinking. Now that I had time to plan and research I’m absolutely torn with what to do. We’re going in a few weeks.

We land in Dublin and will be there for the first two days to explore the city by foot and enjoy the dire straits experience concert. Then I have 3 days to travel. We’ll be renting a car. I just can’t make up my mind between which direction to go in. Please help me make the decision.

I feel like I’ll be getting a lot more of the coast to see and explore different sites within a relatively close distance without having to rush or spend too much time in the car. Bonus, I get to check out Belfast. Con: might not get the proper cliff experience that I had in my vision. Please tell me there are some major cliffs along the coast line that I can walk right up to!!!

On the other hand going to see the cliffs of Moher will 100% scratch that itch, and if not then definitely

Kerry cliffs will. However given the amount of time we’ll be in the car and early sunsets, I fear it will be a major let down in terms of sight seeing.

Should I go with option A or B

Option A itinerary North:

Day 1: train to Belfast explore the city stay the night

Day 2: rent car and drive north towards giants causeway stopping at: the dark hedges, kinbane castle, carrick-a-rede, dunseverick castle and falls, Dunluce castle. Spend the night in a local town.

Day 3: finish exploring whatever we didn’t get to see if weather didn’t permit the day before. Slowly make our way back to Belfast stopping at random towns and sights along the way.

Option B itinerary South West:

Day 1: rent car in Dublin and make our way to cliff of Moher, stop over at Poulnaborne dolmen/ heart of burren walk and maybe the Doolin cave if time permits. Make our way to Limerick for with a stop at Ennistymon Cascades.

Day 2: from Limerick make our way to gap of Dunloe, then Kerry cliffs, and ring of Kerry, and sleep over at Killarney

Day 3: make our way back to Dublin stopping by whatever calls to us along the way.

What should I do!!??
