In the light of the possible flight disruptions due to ash, it's worth knowing about the 'rail & sail' offer between Belfast and Scotland. You can book a train & ferry between Belfast and Glasgow/Edinburgh for £25 each way. Separate train and ferry tickets will almost cost double.
Train to other parts of the UKwill cost a little more but again far cheaper than if you get the tickets separately.

Buy 'rail & sail' tickets at scotrail.co.uk/content/rail-sail-belfast.html

The Belfast taxi tour takes in the history of the troubles, the murals, the peace wall and the areas of significance. As an Englishman visiting Belfast for the first time this was by far the most striking, memorable and humbling part of our trip. All driver-guides have been involved in the troubles from a political or paramilitary standpoint in some way. Hearing from them firsthand, in an unbiased and even-handed manner, the rich detail of such recent struggles and resolutions is worth every penny.

Taxi tours are easily bookable through the tourist office.

Take the train from Dublin's Connolly station, get a window seat on the right hand side, and good views of the coast and the Irish Sea as you travel north. Get the free bus from Belfast to city centre, a pint in the Crown Bar, visit the Linen Hall library.
