Player #3720280, Ireland is Gorgeous, the People are Beautiful, as to is the Sense of Humour & their Accent, it's very Calming with the irish Speak, the Neo- Lithic sites are Stunning, my favourite place is New Grange, in County Meath,
the Irish Football, is faster then any other Game, I've seen,the History is Interesting, & Very Sad at times, the Irish People have been treated badly in the past, yet still have a Wonderful Sense of Humour, if you can Visit do Go, , Enjoy the Guiness as it us treated the Correct way, & Taste Nicer then elsewhere, Go Enjoy, Have fun,
Kindest Regards

The only time I've ever seen that vibrant color green in nature was when I visited Ireland. It really is different.

I'd love to see Ireland some day. Our son stopped off at the airport in Shannon during a deployment. Unfortunately, it was nighttime so he couldn't see much of anything. I remember he called me while at the airport and I was so excited I asked him what it looked like there and he said "I don't know... it's dark." I was so disappointed. He did manage to bring back some nice souvenirs.

HarleyMidgeyMom95., Mayo is beautiful. My father's family came from there. Before that, a French ship fighting the English was grounded on the Mayo coast and a Breton man met and married a local woman...

Maria ♡, you should have a look at Hurling if you like fast sports. It is in the Guinness book of records as the fastest field game in the world.

HarleyMidgeyMom95., I lived there in 1980-81 both in Clontarf located in north Dublin, and Kilmore, County Roscommon. It was a beautiful country, with friendly people

Kathryn Ward, Also thought this. Pay England for a freedom they had no right in robbing, ransacking and destroying? Should never be an option to this question

Im hoping one day I'll be able to visit Ireland. Have ALWAYS dreamt of going. I'm from NZ and have dated 2 Irish guys in the past. Yes, the accent had me all kinds of mesmerized. But I was blessed that they were actually really incredible guys too. 😊
What about that comparison though... land of the "free" 🙈
