Remember that Guinness in Ireland is usually nasty sewage from the BRITISH brewery, unlike the fuckwin Irish-brewed Guinness we get in the States.

No we're not . Religion was just a justification for the troubles in Northern Ireland, it gave people an excuse to throw grenades at eachother. Most people here don't give a shit about religion.

Anyway, welcome to Ireland OP, the only advice I can give you is : Stay out of the cities, the countryside is where it's at.

I'm also moving to Ireland this summer. When are you moving? And how old are you? I'll assume you're moving to Dublin.

If you're young-ish, be sure to get the cheap child bus tickets from shops. They're meant for people 16 and under since a lot of kids use the Dublin Bus Service to get to school, but as long as you look fairly young, nobody checks. The tickets are like EUR6.20 and last you the week which is awesome. If someone's trying to sell them for more than ~EUR6 just go to the next shop, they're ripping you off.

Also the Dublin bus service is shit. I recall one time when I had to wait about forty minutes for a bus to show up on my side of the road, and when it came, it was trailed by four other buses in a row. "Out of Service" is the most common destination in Dublin. Get used to it.
>> Anonymous
For the double-decker buses, don't sit on the top floor unless it's too crowded to sit on the first floor. And if you have to sit on the top floor, sit near the front. Skangers tend to sit towards the back of the second floor and they're irritating little shits.

Overall for transportation, don't bother getting a car if you're mostly staying around Dublin. A car is a huge waste of money for very little gain - the roads in Dublin (and around Ireland in general) are shit and nearly all important destinations are within walking distance of a bus stop or train station.

People aren't so religious in Ireland as people here are saying, like>>8403said most people don't give a shit. Like in America, the younger they are the less likely they are to care.

itt, ignorant americans who think ireland is like how it's portrayed in the simpsons.
Firstly, very few people besides old men actually drink Guinness.
Noone will give a fuck if you wear orange, or if you're protestant or british, that's bullshit.
Lol @ "god bless america" yanks calling Ireland religious, most of the population, especially the young people, are hardcore athiests.
Ireland is one of the wealthiest per GNP countries in the world, and €1=$1.50, I hope you got lots of dollars spare.

roads are fine, but it's true, you won't need a car. Stay in and around Dublin, don't go to Limerick unless you want to put up with drive-bys and wandering horses- most of the city is a poverty trap, and is being bulldozed israeli-style soon anyway.
stay in the Republic, northern ireland's economy is propped up by britain, and it's not a nice place.
Irish, like all Europeans, despise Bush and view Americans in general as retarded religious flag-wavers, so leave the stars-&-stripes and jesus at home.

thousand of different stereotypes sir, the japs think we are all blond cowboys, but yeah that guy was being a dickhead.... so what do you Irish think of us Americans as far stereotypes go? I personally think the Irish are my kinda people from what i've seen in them, plus everyone thinks they are backwards I guess which will probably make me like them more.

I love the comments about Irish people being "backwards" considering the US is made up of 70% bucktooth bush-voting, gun-toting rednecks.

Our economy is envy of Europe. We're 2nd only the US in terms of software exports. Google, Microsoft and Intel have their European headquaters here.

Ireland was voted the most desirable place to live by The Economist last year.

Oh, and for the record, Religion is dead on it's feet here, must of the country is atheist or agnostic.

Get a fucking clue about our country before you start bitching about it and making assumptions. The only people you make look backwards is yourself, and when you shit-for-brains Ameritards come to our country with that attitude, don't be suprised if nobody wants to know you. You'll probably have to pretend to be Canadian before someone actually takes you seriously.

Read more. Watch less TV. Stop giving your country an even worse reputation that it already has.

Told you faggots that no one is religious in Europe anymore. Now you have proof from an actual Irish person. (I guess)

All we need now is for America to stop being so fucking in love with Jesus and maybe it will be a good place to live again.

Yes, I am Irish. The only religious people left here are pretty much over the 60+ demographic, which means they still have a weighty hand in referendums for stuff like abortion (you can't get one in Ireland yet). They're also the same oldfags that keep voting in our current government, who are constantly under scrutiny for corruption and financial misdemeanours. Politics here in the Republic are gone to shit.

Nobody cares about Northern Ireland any more either. Most Irish people would be happy to see it get sawed off and pushed out into the sea so they could fend for themselves and not bore the rest of us with their never-ending crap.

I was taking you seriously up until that point. Why would dollars be accepted in Ireland? We have our own currency in Europe that kicks the dollar's ass. It doesn't make sense for European businesses to take dollars. Ireland is not in south-east Asia, you dunce.

The Irish have low IQs. Traditionally they have been considered backwards and uncultured. They have become rich recently since their corporate tax rate was slashed, causing big foreign companies to move in.
