Historically, it used to be a worse version of Britain, but today it's a better version cause it's less brown. Dublin is the worst part of Ireland, visit the countryside.

I think it fucking sucks. The UK is cheaper and has a lot more to offer. Every town in Ireland is just a smaller version of Dublin. Nothing to see outside of the West Coast.

You can apparently get a flight in and out of Shannon, whatever that is. How does this change things, considering Dublin can be avoided entirely?

The western half of Ireland is better than the east. The east is similar to England albeit with a lower population density. All major cities in Ireland look similar and only differ in scale, Galway being the only one which looks noticeably different and that's largely restricted to Eire Square and the surrounding streets. Public transport is competent given the low population density. Accommodation certainly used to be affordable when I was hostelling (20-30 Euro a night, not sure if this is still the case. Back when I used to visit I'd travel a circular route around the island (Belfast - Derry/ Londonderry - Galway - Killarney - Cork - Dublin) with some variation in extra/ less towns. I'd personally axe off Cork as the city is forgettable and has no real tourist value, Derry/ Londonderry I was interested in due to its history during the Troubles but it is a generic UK town, there's nothing more to be said. Most value in Ireland will be found in the countryside and coastal areas, the cities should be generally avoided as they are purely commercial centres. Killarney is and always has been my favourite part of Ireland, its relaxing and has good nature around. Drogheda near Dublin has access to Newgrange which is certainly worth seeing if you're in the eastern part. Belfast and Dublin themselves feel like large generic UK cities, Liverpool beats both in my opinion from a tourist perspective, I'd argue Bristol is even better than both. Between the two cities I find Belfast more interesting but I wouldn't return to either.Also there are a lot of regional airports in Ireland which you can cheaply fly to. You can basically go straight to Galway via plane or to Killarney via Shannon. You don't have to fly to Dublin or Belfast. You can even fly to Knock for cheap and there's fucking nothing there.

Galway looks like a dump and it seems to new cool thing to do there is to get raped in broad daylight by some brown thing

Living here is nice (mostly). Most of the things you'd wanna/have to see have been heavily touristified. Dublin is a grim city not unlike the coastal shitholes in the UK. The people here are talkative and wonderful unlike the asocial spergs you meet in a lot of mainland Europe and UK cities. The countryside is beautiful and the less Anglicised parts in the north, south and west are much nicer than the urban east. Dublin itself has a lot of annoying wankers who act as high and mighty as New Yorkers or Londonites. If I'm being honest I'd only come here if you can stay long enough to form bonds and friendships with people, and actually explore the country. As a tourist trail it's shit.t.

I stayed here two weeks in August to see Oasis last year. Overall the country is pretty to look at but if you're not an avid hiker it was too much time for me.>highlights
Aran Islands, renting a bike, was really amazing but my only gripe was that the ferry I took returned pretty early in the evening and there were no other options. I almost missed the boat and almost got stranded on the island.Doolin / Cliffs of Moehr are touristy but honestly worth doingBlarney Castle and gardens were an unexpected highlight. I had no interest in this at first but got bored enough and was pleasantly surprised. The gardens were almost as interesting as the castle itself.Howth was a Cliffs-lite>lowlights
Dublin was a dump, saw multiple bums urinating in public near tourist attractions
Cork was unremarkable
Galway was like every other Latin Quarter in every other city, crowded with tourists and bands playing the exact same sets.If I did it again I'd probably get a car and see some more nature, I misses West Cork, Dingle and stuff because it was harder to reach via public transit

My dad is going on a trip there soon, I could have joined but I'm not really interested in booze which seems like the only thing to do there

Anyone ever been to the Puca festival or the Bram Stoker festival? Are they or any other things worth spending a Halloween in Ireland for?

Stay out it's terrible.
Do not come here until all foreigners have been purged.

There are so many Irish in Canada. Ireland is a huge shithole none of them want to live there.

Why are there so many Japanese people in Ireland? I've seen more Japanese ladies in the last 2 weeks than I have in my entire life.
Also where do they hang out? They seem nice and I'd like to rizz one
