Question.
Did you consider going via uk and eurotunnel to avoid the risks of a long rough ferry trip? Not sure it would be much dearer (if at all) or longer time.
Suggestion
Although I usually use Via Michelin to look at potential routes, the Drive Alive planner gives a plethora of hotels etc along the route, so might help.
Wow! That's quite some journey to make with 2 kids and a dog. I don't think I'd do it. I'd leave the dog (and kids) at home).
HOWEVER (Hopefully to assist you)
I assume you're using the Irish Ferries ship as I belive they allow dogs on board. (Whoever you use you do need to be very clear of, and have planned for, what rules and requirements the Ferry company imposes. Anyway, it's an 18+ hour long trip arriving late morning at Cherbourg.
A lot depends on how well the dog will take to a long road trip. We allow about5 hrs driving a day, plus a "walkies" break of at least 30 minutes every couple of hours. Also - will that suit the kids?
A journey of that sort of distance needs to be a part of the holiday, rather than a "blast down as quickly as possible to Molise" trip.
I'd do about 3 - 4 hrs max on day 1 - say 200 miles max, followed by 300-350 miles a day thereafter ....... so probably up to a total of 4 overnights on the way down.
Route?? With the dog, we'd choose the autoroute for a smoother and quicker trip. (More scenic routes may cause travel sickness and are slower).
Hotels etc? We would suggest using hotel chains like Ibis, as they (usually) take dogs (and children) and have restaurants that accept the dogs. ALWAYS CHECK DIRECTLY WITH THE HOTEL THAT DOGS ARE ALLOWED IN ROOMS SND RESTAURANT - DONT RELY ON THE WEBSITE.
There are cheaper hotel options, but you get what you pay for. Remember it is part of the holiday experience.
Well ...... that's your 'starter for ten'.

I wondered how long it would take you to pop back and add an advertising link to your post. You didn't disappoint - except that it's one of your usual cr#p links.
If you tap on the Menu on the Comune website it gives various options, one of which is Sevici et Uffici. Click on that and you get a list of the offices etc. Click on an office and you often get an email address for a person in that office.
Good luck
Have you tried phoning the comune,? Here is a listing of numbers etc from their website
