It depends much on what period you are researching but most Scots who moved to Ireland during the "plantation periods" moved to the North  see http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/war/plantation/settlement/index.shtml
for a migration map.
Although not unknown to venture to the south it was very unusual as that area was predominently controlled by English Lords who were hostile to the Scots and the local Irish who were hostile to all incomers.

Hello Renee,

There are two places called Dubber in the Dublin area. There is also a place called Duburren in the Civil Parish of Killevy in the Poor Law Union of Newry, Co. Armagh.
I'm surprised that there has been no mention of your ancestor's surname. Some names are more popular than others in certain areas. Sometimes they may help to place a townland.
