Nachtel [#2]is Dublin pedestrian friendly
generally yes
99.9% most people you will meet will be friendly, say hello to you and ask where you're from if they can tell you aren't Irish but can't tell where you're from.

what food should i try
batchestingveryhard [#7]coolest Irish person ?
Irish history - Michael Collins
Nowadays - I don't even have to say his name do I?
i_am_mako [#12]why is it IRELAND and why not ISLAND OF DESTRUCTION 🥹
Ireland comes from the word Éire, which comes from another word in Old-Irish that means land, which is also where the name Erin comes from (Éireann in Irish)
Nachtel [#9]what food should i try
Irish food is a little rough imo other than a good Irish breakfast, best breakfast in the world
michaelisupset [#18]what’s the cost of living like?
Its alright outside of the 2 big cities of Belfast and Dublin, can be really expensive in those cities especially housing. Living out in the country it's fairly easy but it is still more expensive than a good bit of Europe.
bonkashi [#19]what's like the average level of irish someone can speak? i know its learnt in school but how fluent are most people?
Depends on which part of the country you're in. I am currently re-learning Irish as it was only taught for 3 years for me in the North. Over in Donegal, a lot of people speak fluent Irish especially on the coast. Down South it is taught for many years but most people don't remember too much of it after a while and by the time you're done university, you can't speak too much unless you actively study it. It's sadly a dying language and less and less people speak it every year.
i_am_mako [#22]YOU GUYS SPEAK ENGLISH MORE OFTEN OR IRISH
English, about half of Irish people can't speak more than a few words of Irish

hunkkz [#24]I know absolutely nothing about Ireland (sorry), so tell me 5 things about your country
- Irish people are the friendliest people you will ever meet
- Irish people are very patriotic, there is a very high level of love for their own country
- Ireland is split into 2 separate countries, the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland (most people who identify as Irish in the North will call it the North of Ireland)
- Ireland has a long history of British occupation like many other countries across the world, with Republic of Ireland declaring independence in 1922 while the North is still within the UK.
- Irish people are one of the main influences for the Jamaican accent, many Irish people were sent to Jamacia back during the Famine
Extra 6th - Irish people generally have a love for exploring other countries and their culture
nematoma [#25]when is the best place to visit ireland and is it tourist friendly if someone just minds their business and doesnt do dumb shit?
Ireland is best probably around June time, it's just before school is over and just before most tourism comes in but it is still warm. Ireland is very tourist friendly, no matter what you want to do and where you go.

I was on vacation in Spain and had the pleasure of sharing a hostel with about five Irish lads, y’all r the best. Anyway, how the fuckkkkk do u guys drink so much. You guys must have genetically evolved at this point.These guys were up and downing beers by 12pm-3pm out front in the outdoor seated lunch spot. Then spend the whole day still drinking, and wouldn’t be back till around 5 or 6 am. Love the Irish ❤️

Irish nights out to pubs last a lot longer than what I seen when I visited America, we go out about 7 or 8 and we're out until maybe 2am, we're used to drinking for hours and hours and especially when people are in Uni, we drink to pass the time
kid_named_finger [#49]What are some iconic or known spots in Ireland that were used in film? Also, thoughts on Jacksepticeye? (He was my favorite YouTuber in my teenage years)
The Dark Hedges is the one that comes to mind first, used in GoT. Another one is Skellig Michael, used in Star Wars, both beautiful places to visit
- jacksepticeye is an irish legend
Businessman [#51]When you read these questions in your head do you read them in an irish accent?
I have an odd accent, I have a mix of a Donegal accent and an Antrim accent so it doesn't sound too much like the sterotypical Irish accent. But yes, I think I read everything in my own accent and that has just fucked with my head, thanks for that
mehdisid [#53]what do you think about

cohnr [#15]Ireland comes from the word Éire, which comes from another word in Old-Irish that means land, which is also where the name Erin comes from (Éireann in Irish)
