Is 4 days enough for N/NW countryside

Hi, 

I am traveling solo, coming from Dublin city center and departing from Shannan airport. I will have 2 partial travel days and 4 full days to visit the countryside.

I keep reading you can’t go wrong visiting any part of countryside, but somehow I am finding myself gravitating towards north/northwest Ireland. It seems like scenery may feel more dramatic and unique to what I’ve seen before. Also I’m going mid/late August and wondering if the southwest will feel very busy/touristy.

However, I am still feeling FOMO when I think about skipping the southwest. I wonder maybe all these tourists go to the southwest for a reason. The pictures of all the various regions online look so beautiful so me, so trying to choose by googling pictures of the regions hasn’t helped me.

ANYWAY my question is:

Is Sligo/Donegal/Connemara doable in my time frame? I’m not a lingerer but I also don’t want to feel frantic. According to AI it is doable.
