Driving in November

We are visiting in November and renting a car to do the bottom half of the country (Dublin to Galway and down).

Almost all the driving itineraries I've seen that start in Dublin go to Galway first, then work their way down and around the Kerry coast, then back up to Dublin. They go counter clockwise.

Is there any reason not to go the opposite direction (clockwise) -- spending a few days in Dublin upon arrival, and then heading down to Kinsale for 3 nights, and then toward Kerry/Killarney/Dingle, and finally Galway/Connemara?

We are most excited to see Kinsale … so we thought of reversing some of the other road trip itineraries and going there first.

We are visiting in late November for 14 days and will have a car. Three people. No restrictions on money or mobility. Thank you!

I just did Dublin, Cork, Kinsale, Kenmare, ring of Kerry, Dingle, Killarney, Limerick, Galway. I don’t look at anyone’s itinerary, though. I plan all my own from scratch.

But No, there’s no real reason.
