Hey, I'm based in Cork these days.
You might be better off heading for Ballinhassig from the airport and taking the back roads due south from there to Kinsale rather than the unplesantly busy main road.
If you can manage a visit/wild camp in Glengarriff Nature Reserve it would be well worth it!
Also, not a concern for you, but you're wise to do the ring of Kerry in a clockwise fashion as the buses go anti-clockwise and will save you some hassle.
Enjoy :)

Going to Ireland at the end of August, flying to Cork and back from Belfast (visiting family there, two birds one stone and all of that).
While doing the route I realised that from Ballina to Belfast would have been just a slog to get there, with no particular sightseeing or points of interest, so the current WIP option is to get to Achill Island, only to circle back to Galway and get to Belfast by train, via Dublin.
Any tip is very much welcome as usual: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/33439978
