Anyone posting from Ireland?

[Rebi]

Just curious is there anyone else posting from Ireland? Am I the only one?!!

We have our house (in Devon) on the market atm and hope to move back to Dublin before Christmas. DH was offered a very attractive redundancy package and we are fed up of having no family support so we're making the Big Move! Can't wait . We'll be renting in Malahide/Swords/Portmarnock (north of Dublin) until we get established and then hope to buy a shoebox for an astronomical amount of money!

Nerdgirl, I won't be far from Ratoath so maybe we can get together?

I live in Brighton ATM but was brought up in Portstewart NI Haven't been there for a while though.Anyone else from this area?

Pamina3 - I am wondering if I might know your hubby as I am in Derry too. What age would he be and then I might know him without you having to give anymore details!!

Ooh I bet I know someone who knows him whatever foot he kicks with!! A bit older than me but most of my friends are 'across the bridge' and would probably know him. Which school?

Know quite a few blokes from there in his age range and with huge families so I probably would know someone who knows him!! Are most of his family still over here? How weird is that. A tenuous connection to someone on mumsnet!!

Pamina3 See if he knows Damien McWilliams or any of the McKeever boys - hopfeully one of them will have been in his year at school.

honeybunny - my dad's family come from Kildare. We part own a house at Edenderry/Kildare (i think) I get confused as someone also told me it was West Meath. Also have family in Cavan

They would have grown up around the Creggan area and their dad owned a couple of corner shops. Maybe Niall would be in his age range?

Hi all, I am from and live in, Co.Galway. There seem to be quite a lot of you from the North, and Dublin. Anyone else from down the country?

HI all just found this thread. Up Mayo.

Am not a big fan of gaelic football, but as I live close to the Mayo border, I will probably watch the match today. Hope that Mayo does it this time.

No offense to any Kerry Mumsnetters out there. .

Zaphod I was born in Galway and my two kids were born in Galway. My mother and father are from Galway but as I live here in Mayo I have to support otherwise I would be run out of town. What part of Galway are you in. I went to school in Tuam (boarder).

ah well. We live to fight another day.

Only an Irish mnetter will understand. Up Mayo.

Oh girls! Just found this thread.. and very much enjoyed reading it. I'm from Co. Down also.. Dundonald to be precise, spent a lot of time in Bangor - mum and dad's businesses there. Now living in Scotland. Came here for uni, married a scot and got 'stuck' here. I love the way when i meet someone from NI we can always find a friend in common. You've all made me a bit homesick with ur chat about icre cream in D'dee, fish and chips in Portaferry etc..... must get home soon..

Discoinferno, just saw your last message on this thread. I live about 20 mins from Tuam, and grew up in Mayo. What part do you live in?

If you don't want to answer for reasons of anonymity, I totally understand, this is a VERY small country.

Can't believe I haven't added to this before. Another Co. Down girl here - Ballynahinch to be exact (heading 'home' for the weekend 12 Nov if anyone needs any veda bread or Tayto cheese & onion!!!!!!) Now living in Kent but miss loads of things about home. We get back about twice a year too.

Have just found this thread and it is lovely to hear so much talk about "home"
