My wife and I have planned for the following trip, we will be too rushed?

Ireland 7 days/6 nights
Scotland 4 days/3 nights

We want to visit:
Ireland - Waterford, Ring of Kerry/Dingle, Cliffs of Moher, Causeway then Antrium coast then air from Dublin to Glasgow and basically spend 2-3 days traveling thru the highlands.

Hi, McKissack. I think Ireland seems pretty rushed. If you just have seven days, much of it would be spent in the car getting to and from the places you want to visit. As for the Highlands, they deserve much more than 2-3 days. I would leave them out this time, and focus on Ireland. Or, if Scotland is very important to you, stick to Dublin and perhaps a day trip, and then fly over to Glasgow from there.

I'm with maeby - you're hardly going to have time to drive that Ireland route, never mind see any of it. Having extensively toured both Ireland and Scotland by car (as I assume you intend), the greatest pleasure is in taking your time to enjoy the wilderness, the isolation and, best of all, lack of traffic. Virtually all of the irish roads you mention will be single carriageway, probably limiting you to about 40mph average at best. They are the 'N' roads but you want to keep off them as much as possible and enjoy the secondary roads.

I described a five-day driving tour we did in Counties Cork, Kerry and Limerick - it may give you some idea of pacing on Irish roads:

I think you need to replan, including making another visit to one or other country!

Happy planning.

It depends on how much time you want to spend in your car, how much you see. In one week I travelled all around the Ireland (south and north) then across the centre from east to west and back again. It was easy to do.

Scotland really deserves some more time. Even a look along Hadrian's Wall to the south.
