Question About Southern Ireland..........

[Frankendooby]

Haloo.Just wanted some opinions fro people who have moved to Ireland to live and of course fom people who are Irish and have lived,do still live here.Opinions on the Politics,Laws,Education,Work etc.
I moved here from the UK and although i used to visit lots to see family I find living here extremely difficult in many ways.Just wondered how others have found it.Thanks in advance

Balls! or is it brains? haggis that is.

the fields of athenry is not perhaps not the best synopsis of 19th century irish history. it is very catchy though

it's boak rolled up into a skin, mhamai, that's what it is .

My DH is English SKerry, and he can't get his head round black pudding either.

at expat.
Rosa, I should hope your dh does indeed never ty to get his head around a blackpudding, quite painful I would have thought.

we don't need postcodes everyone knows everyone. except of course in those massive empty housing estates

Taim arais aris - ni raibh me abalta dul i mo chodladh.

Am glad to see this thread is deteriorating nicely with talk of black pudding and getting heads around it!

Right Mhamai, but if he misbehaves he might get a black pudding around his head.
Though he is very well-behaved as a rule.

better go to me leabha now as i need to be up in the morning to make spud sandwiches for the kids before sending them off to their nun riddled school

am intrigued at the Sligo man who is dead whose very name caused rebels stop in their tracks while speaking of prison boats and Botany bay. I need another clue.

That is why I left. And after 15 years of blissful anonymity in London, I now live in rural Devon which is just the same.

you just put a zero in for postcode.

I used to lmao because my ds for years insisted that she lived in D16 or whatever it is for Tempelogue as opposed to Firhouse, which would make it Tallaght. Inverted feckin snob. Me on the other hand I'm a Tallafornian and I'm proud!

Famous Sligo people. Hmmm. I assume your uncle wasn't WB Yeats, or you would be older than you look?
McBride?
McManus?
Ray McSharry?

it isn't the devil dev himself is it - but wasn't he american or argentianian or foreign anyway. really have to go to bed really am going to bed

Kerry one of my ex's is from Castleisland, is that anywhere near you?

Ray McSharry isn't dead though so we can rule him out. All of the Sligo members of Westlife are still alive too so we can rule them out too.

ray macsharry!!a stop you in your tracks republican .pmsl
