http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/phones/cheap-mobile-broadband There's a useful list of businesses that offer free wireless (click on 'wireless web access'). There are PAYG/ long term roaming wireless plans through BT Openzone and suchlike, but finding free hotspots might make more sense in your case; I wouldn't buy a monthly subscription, for example. There are sites that can point you to nearby free hotspots, eg: http://free-hotspot.com/
Day trips: Most places are quite accessible without a car- you can travel by coach or train, and see a lot of the country too. What would you be interested in: history, eclectic nightlife, arts, countryside, good food? France would be doable by Eurostar out of London- it only takes a couple of hours. I really don't recommend trying to visit Ireland in a day unless you're super organised and really motivated- you'd have to fly, and although the flight itself doesn't take long the airport stuff eats up time and you'd only have a few hours in XAirport City (Probably Galway or Dublin) to show for it. Go for it anyway if you're really keen, but do plan ahead.
