Ever wondered what life is like in Dublin or Cork or other places in Eire? Ireland is independent of Northern Ireland. An example of this is their joining the Euro currency. Northern Ireland still retains the Sterling. I heard that border control is less now that the peace process and the IRA are finally in compliance. However, not to rule out that Northern Ireland is still not a preferred destination due to the current hostilities between the protestant and catholic communities. It is ashame but some parts of Britain remain static. Eire questions?
Went to Dublin. Very friendly people. Infact one of the most welcoming people I know. Went into a lovely little pub and tried a Guiness from the barrel. Was hoping to hear some Irish diddly diddly music but they were reserved but welcoming at this fine hour.
No. Couldn't sing as was busy drinking. After I fell out the pub, I went and explored other parts of Dublin. Next day, went into the mountains.
Northern Ireland was one of the best holidays i've ever had..! I ate a 24 ounce T-bone steak, clambered over the Giant's Causeway, and got seriously tiddly tasting 12 or so different Bushmills whiskeys at the oldest royal distillery in the world.
You brought it up..! Okay i got the wrong thread, but as far as i'm concerned there's little difference between NI and I, they are both utterly gorgeous places, with friendly people. The main difference is that NI has a lot of National Trust land you can walk all over, and the land in Ireland is all privately owned, so you get shot at if you step onto it.
You don't get shot man, just be friendly. Depends where you are though - to lots of NI catholics you're sasanach scum. It's all about Cork, and Donegal. Dublin as well, but it's well expensive. Avoid belfast at all costs, it's shit to put it bluntly
Tch, wrong thread. I have aunts and uncles etc. living in Cork City and Youghal (the town where the potatoes arrived with Drake). One aunt does struggle a bit with my mothers blood, being a bit english like, the rest are cool and one thing you are certain of is being well fed and watered. I believe I had a grandfather spent a bit of time at her majesties pleasure for being a troublemaker. Large families still, uncle has nine (9) children. Houses painted colourful pastels. People still sign the cross when they pass a church (not many). Holy Mother of God, Hail Mary.
