Irish section

[hollyisalovelyname]

I see Northern Irish posters are looking for their own section on Mumsnet.
May we have an Irish section please ?There appear to be lots of Irish posters on this brilliant forum.

Hullo,

What would your suggest that we call it, if we do go ahead...?

Right cailíní time to get our thinking caps on!!

I'm still up for Mammiesnet

Just popping in to offer my support for an Irish section, too :) Am English, but have been living in Ireland for 17 years now (mostly). Not in Dublin!

Oh Craicnet, it has to be!

Great to get a response from HQ.

I'll have to come up with a new user name for the main boards to preserve my anonymity....cos we all know that we're going to be connected in some way on here. don't we?

My first trip overseas, landed in New York on a J1 visa and headed out with my friends, to sample the bars in Queens.
I started chatting to a guy at the bar, he was my aunts neighbour.

I just don't think that happens in other countries, does it?

I like craicnet too.

I vote for craicnet too and for it to be all Ireland (I'm from the North but in England so not sure I get a vote)
In a bizarre you're never far from Ireland moment, I was at a bbq at the weekend at an ex college of DH house and meet a boy man I was at primary school with a few 36 years ago and haven't seen since!

Promise I'll learn to type and proof read if you let me in but you get the jist

Agree with Ginger, Craicnet and all-island gets my vote!

Was thinking about Eirnet, but no...

Craicnet and all Ireland vote from me too. mainly because I'm one of those weird childless MNers but I love the craic

I don't mind what it's called, just would be really happy to get an Irish section

Craicnet is my first choice. Irishnet could work too, just as Scotsnet does.

Scotsnet probably wasn't our top pick. But it does what it says on the tin so in retrospect it was probably the best choice.

Hi all I'd deffo be interested in an Irish board here.

I've been on rollercoaster in the past but there's just no volume on it so I'm a mumsnetter now.

Not sure I like Craicnet, don't think it's v clear what it's for as PP mentioned and people might think it's only for fun or jokey topics and not serious ishoos.

Irishnet, while never going to set the world on fire, does what it says on the tin

I agree with cait, while craicnet sounds fun it may not be the right name for the job! Irishnet says what it is really.

I agree with the suggestion of Irishnet.

It's not very exciting, but covers everything just as Scotsnet does.

As others have said, Craicnet sounds like it's just for fun stuff.

Irishnet
Craicnet ( )
CailíníÁlainnnet

I'm in. All - Ireland vote from me too.

But what to call it? That would be an ecumenical matter.........

Or maybe we should have a referendum?

Irishnet
Irenet or Eirnet (sounds like hairnet....)
Spudnet (I know, I know)

Craicnet is still my favourite though

Another Scotsnetter popping in to lend support to the idea :)

Late to this part but yes to an Irish board!

Not keen on Irishnet - meh.

Craicnet is better - and any confusion as to content will be cleared up as soon as someone looks at the thread titles (King vs. Tayto, Ballyferriter in the rain, etc.)

And it's King for cheese & onion but Tayto for salt & vinegar. That is all.

I am very excited that my craicnet suggestion my be adopted ! Almost make up for my Brexit depression

I like craicnet too. I'm a mum not a mam so I'm not keen on mammysnet
