3. Clifden is worth the trip
And the scenery getting there is worth it, again. Cong is a good place to visit--the old abbey with the little fishing hut on the lake and the new church built using the old wall as part of its structure, Ashford Castle, the whole "Quiet Man" related things and there is a stone circle in a field nearby, as well (wear good walking shoes and watch where you step). Between Clifden and Cong is Kylemore Abbey...

It depends on what you're interested in. I don't think there is a more "Irish" part of Ireland (altho I could be persuaded in future trips!). Find a good pub at least a couple of nights, some place with a sessiun and sit back and enjoy!
