Nice!! I might be too late and these things may have already been done or not of interest but I'm pasting below the recommendations she gave me:
Kinsale is the seaside town that’s so cute! About 1/2 from Cork.
Dingle is a big time cute, touristy town but further away.
Restaurant in Dublin: Deavitts on Camden Street. Lots of locals.
Swimming at the 40 Foot in Dublin
Also: Cork Public Museum
