That was actually extremely useful. One of those small things that really helps a lot.

And I just had an answer where the correct answer was given as: ... go dtí Baile Átha Cliath. Was that right?

You have to use go dtí with the definite article. But you can use it without. On the other hand 'go' cannot/would not/should not be used alone with definite article...
I don't think so as there's no definite article (an) before Sasana. England is just Sasana. France, Spain, etc are, however, An Fhrainc/An Spáinn, etc. You only use "go dtí" before the definite article the (an/na) or a definite phrase. Thus, Chuaigh mé go Sasana but Chuaigh mé go dtí An Fhrainc/An Spáinn.(http://www.daltai.com/forums/viewthread/927/)
