Going to Ireland soon, any Jaguar fans in Ireland? Does anyone have any Ireland advice or recommendations? I will be in Drogheda, Limerick, Killarney and Dublin.

Watch out for these, 

I went there a long time ago and loved it.  After we left Limerick we were told that its nickname is "Stab City".  Or was.

Craic = Atmosphere (kept hearing "the crack is good" and was very confused)

 

Que = Line (obvious but took me a bit to pick up on)

 

Don't order an Irish Carbomb.

 

I've been to Dublin a few times. My advice would be to stay as close to Temple Bar area as possible, the taxi situation is a mess!

 

Go to St. Patricks and try to see the Cliffs of Moher. Check out Johnston Castle in Kilkenny if you get a chance, but it's not an absolute must.

 

Also, if you're a dumb as I am - it will be much colder there than you might anticipate. 

 

Travel by bus is preferred to travel by train.

It's spelled queue.

Apologies, I knew I'd get it wrong.

You sure it's not queueue?

I hope you'll be able to find some place to get a drink.

 

Because stereotypes are cool.

Guinness. Pubs. Repeat.

Bangers n mash for hangover

Repeat.


No Catholic or Protestant jokes.


Know the difference between God and Bono.


God doesn't walk around thinking he's Bono.

I've been there several times. It's fun but be careful. If you're driving, always remember to stay on the opposite side of the road. It sounds like a simple thing but it's easy to do...especially after downing a pint or three. Also, be cognizant of pickpockets.

 

On the positive side, go into every pub you can and just start talking. At night, try to find a pub with a "seisun (sp?)" where everyone comes in with their instruments and plays/sings.

 

Bed and breakfast breakfasts are fabulous. Look for lunches along your routes, I always found them easier than dinners to find.

 

The Connemara peninsula is a great drive as is the Ring of Kerry. Killarney and Kinsale are nice towns. I preferred the West to the East although the castles and such around Dublin are more plentiful. I thought Guinness- St. James Gate- was a tad overrated and the Waterford crystal place was too but they are kind of must see places.

 

On Sundays, the pubs have a "holy hour", I think from Noon to 1 where everyone should home with their families after church. The pubs don't allow anyone in during that hour but if you're already in, you can stay and drink so...plan accordingly if you are there on a Sunday.

Never been to Ireland but when I lived in Germany I stayed away from the normal touristy places. I went to castles but ones that weren't internationally recognized. It lends to a more authentic atmosphere and not as many people. I think I saw more Americans at Ikea than any other location.

Ireland is a great place to visit. Much like anywhere in the UK, it has it's good places and bad places. Just follow what you like, and you won't go wrong.

I have a better idea:

 

DON'T FREAKING DRINK AND DRIVE.

Never heard about that one. That doesn't even make sense.

So just drink and drive, no getting freak on?

I've been to Dublin twice in the past year, drive down to Wales then hop on a boat to Ireland, pretty neat.
