The time in Ireland is GMT and is 5 hours ahead of US Eastern
time. In the summer it gets light as early as 4-4:30 a.m. and stays
light until almost 10 p.m. so you'll have plenty of time for
seeing things.
It is not too hard to get used to the time difference.
If you adjust your eating and sleeping schedule to the local time on your
arrival it makes it much easier. I also find setting my watch to
Irish time as soon as I get on the plane then try to time sleeping on the
flight to Irish time helps immensely.
It is much easier to adjust to time changes when you are traveling west, for
example to the states from Ireland.
