Bennie Lantgen: Not really, not if one of your parents is from there.My mother is from the west of Ireland, she now lives in the south-east and loves her home. Me, I can't stand that town, never go back there if I can help it, but I love the west.
Sharie Sommerville: Not at all!So do I!I've never even visited Ireland, though distant family originated from Ireland.I'm hoping to visit sometime next year so I can decide properly.Good luck to you! =)
Burt Stoecklin: i know a few people who are like that, but irelands a crap country to live in.both of my parents are irish, and i was born in england, and id hate to live.im irish, but id rather live somewhere else that ireland if i had the choice, its twice as wet as it is in the UK, and its the place is just boring.although, great place to have citizenship for, **** the british, as i always say.
Lou Ravelo: I don't think its "weird" lots of people move away from the place they were brought up, if you are at un! i I expect you are 18 or 19? Once you finish uni you'll probably have to emigrate to either Canada or Australia to get a job the way things are going here but I'm sure you are aware of that already
Arlene Maycumber: Don't think its unusual, I'm sure there are a lot of english students in colleges here in ireland. And as your dad is from here, it is normal for you want to live here, especially as your relations lived/,ive here.
Brock Hladik: Given the two @rsey comments above, I'd avoid the place! What's wrong with saying Southern Ireland - all four locations mentioned are in the Southern part of both the island of Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. It's just the same as saying can you please recommend somewhere in Southern France.
Joel Feagler: 18
Donny Bankson: 18
Tillie Wynott: you need to be 18 to buy drink!you will always find younger kids hanging around off licenses trying to get anyone over 18 to buy them drink!
Todd Stogner: I! t is 18, but it may be changing to 21. Why do you ask?
B! arrett Felicia: 18
Kaley Lappas: Em, nope, you're not travelling to "Southern" anything.....Ireland isn't called "Southern Ireand", just Ireland, thank you. If you really want to you can also say the Republic of Ireland but even this technically isn't correct. But saying "Southern Ireland" is not really appreciated. Anyway, you don't want to go to Shannon, dear god, lol - unless you wanna work in a call centre or something! There's nothing there, it's a town that was simply created in the 1950's or 60's. Was there once or twice, there's nothing there besides factories and industril premises etc. Co. Cork is lovely, especially west Cork. Cork city is great, you'll like it. Don't know much about Ardmore, it's in Co.Waterford. Kilkenny is nice too, it's very popular with folks who watch South Park, OMG....So, if you plan to see say Cork city and county and Co. Waterford and Kilkenny town (they'll tell ya it's a city but their lying, lol) your best bet is to stay in Cork ! city probably. As for holiday homes I'm not too sure but you could check http://www.hotelscombined.com for good hotel prices (excellent site) If hotel prices in Cork city are too expensive at that site then you could try staying in Limerick city, hotel prices are cheaper there (and it's near to Shannon just incase you really do wanna go there) Enjoy!Edit: Btw, try to see the Cliffs of Moher (pronounced "More", moher or less, lol) in Co. Clare (same county as Shannon - easily accessible from Limerick) Co.Kerry is nice too, especially west/southwest Kerry (that's where Cary Grant shot that movie) - lakes of Killarney etc (can be a bit touristy though)
Marna Liddie: Don't listen to the first two peeps - just being a tad anal I think :)Enjoy your trip - and say Southern Ireland all you want, I am from the North and have no problem in people saying 'The North of Ireland'.
Donald Caravalho: There is no such place as Southern Ireland, dear. The name of the country is t! he Republic of Ireland. Please do not refer to it as Southern Ireland w! hen you're here, it won't make you any friends.A good location would be south-central Tipperary, you could try Cahir or Cashel, both places are within a couple of hours of where you want to go, you could take the road through the Comeraghs to the Waterford/Cork coast. If you have a clear day, the views are spectacular. The easiest way to get to Kilkenny is to take the N24 to just after Clonmel, then take the main Dublin and Kilkenny road from there. Shannon has nothing other than the airport and industrial park, why do you want to go there? Or do you mean County Clare? You'd need to get up early to get through Limerick city before 9 am in order to make the most of a day in County Clare, as traffic in Limerick is quite bad between 9 and 10 am.
Adam Momaya: I think you actually mean Southern Ireland, as in the south of the country which is where all your destinations are located...sorry, we can be a bit sensitive here! Limerick would probably be ideal to stay or possibl! y Tipperary. There's a fair distance between these places though so you might want to move around a bit when you're looking for somewhere to stay.If you don't mind a few hours drive though, anywhere you stay is fine. The good thing about Ireland is that unless you're driving north to south, the journeys are very bearable and last only a maximum of 4 hours or so.By the way, there really is nothing to see in Shannon...you're probably flying into that airport, right? There's only industrial park after industrial park there, there's nothing to keep anyone interested so it would be best to just get out of there and move on.
Carter Edstrom: You're old enough if you can drink a six pack of Dutch Gold without puking.
Cliff Tyre: I was born & brought up in England.Mother is English Father is IrishAlways wanted to live in Ireland...my family in ireland used to say thy didnt understand why I wanted to live there away from my parents etcI love ireland and I dont know why.No! w I am in University in Ireland and my mum said she bets Im the only st! udent here thats English.Do you think its wierd that I randomly want to live in Ireland indstead of the place I was brought up? I just feel a strong connection with Ireland I dont know why. x
Hyo Hardell: And wanted to know if I am wanting to see Ardmore, County Cork, Killkenny and Shannon, is there a county in which we should stay that would be centrally located to these counties that would keep us within a few hours of each county we want to see? If so, do you have any sites you might suggest to find a holiday home to rent? Thanks!
Truman Biby: Is it the way a person's eyes squeench up when they smile? Do their eyes have kind of a lepruchans' eyes look?
Stevie Kizziar: The reason I ask, was we were at a fair once and my mom had her picture drawn by a cartoonist. The cartoonist said she must be Irish because he could see it in her eyes. I have the same eyes and smile. We are of Irish descent. Just wondering.
Mitsuko Manne: No it not weird i want! to live in japan
Raleigh Lufkin: No it's not weird at all, I lived in many different places including Greece, Australia & London for many years & returned home few years ago to Ireland ... Well if your dad is Irish then I am sure he always talked about Ireland when you were growing up so you have that bond to Ireland through him & being half Irish ... There are lots of students from all over the world here & many English people living in Galway now as they feel it is safer for their children & slower pace of life...
Spencer Heidtbrink: yes the age is 18 by law!!
Anton Waln: 18
Misty Vagle: cohen_gadi we are not poor at all, in fact we have one of the strongest economies in Europe! Look it up. (Not necessarily a good thing)... google "Celtic tiger".Irish eyes smile with a twinkle.. we can actually smile without smiling but just by twinkling.
Indira Wassell: Its 18 to buy. But hell, 85% of 15 year olds have drank, so the age limit doesn't really! make a difference
Queenie Ruthers: I very much doubt you're the ! only British student at any college in IrelandNo, I don't consider it weird, you wouldn't be the first child of Irish parents born in the UK who wanted to live in IrelandWhat other people think isn't important, it's what you want to do that counts If the people you've spoken to can't imagine why an 18 year old would want to be independent of their parents & make their own mistakes perhaps its just as well you're away from them Ireland isn't exactly the ends of the universe, it's an hour away by plane from the UK, neither are we living in an age when it costs a fortune to travel between the islands & once you were gone you rarely or never went back
Tillie Wynott: 18
Dwight Siniard: As long as you are 18 and have a valid photo ID to prove it, you'll be fine. Clubs and Pubs in Dublin and everywhere else in Ireland can't afford to get shut down for underage drinking these days so they're quite strict about the legal drinking age.
