How do I get to the lakes of Killarney?

Travel Info
My dad has always wanted to go there and as its his 60th birthday this month, me and my brothers wanna treat him. He lives near southampton. Whats the best way to get there? Can you fly from Southampton straight to the lakes?

Travel Tips

I am afraid that it seems the only flights from Southampton to Kerry County Airport are ones with Air France that go Charles De Gaulles in Paris, then to Dublin and then to Kerry County and cost a small fortune. However I think there is an Irish airline that flies from Southampton to Cork International and from there you could either get a connecting flight or you could hire a car and drive for an hour or two to get to Killarney. For a really magical stay don't stay in the middle of Killarney stay at the Park Hotel in Kenmare which is right on the ring of Kerry high up on the Killarney mountains. It is beautiful.
