Where in Ireland to go?

Gaelic?

 

....firm address and foreign air.

 

As you might expect, I think the attraction is mainly the music and xxxx
in the bars TBF.

Ohkaaay, what's your surname?

 

Gaeilge?

Since I only ever tried to learn Gaidhlig I can't remember what the
Irish form is called.

Phil.

 

Huge improvements in the past decade and still going on, but as you
would expect, the smaller backroads are often a bit ropey.

Driver behaviour is generally ok, except for some unswitched-on yokel
types and the usual ignorant **** you get everywhere. Thing is, outside
of Dublin and Cork and their commuter areas, almost everywhere else is a
country town and you have to compare it to driving in a rural area, eg,
the SW of England, and make adjustments to your driver expectations
accordingly. The majority of the driving isn't actuallly bad, just more
relaxed.
However, the further Wesht you go, the more 'relaxed' things get.

That's more a Wesht thing, especially if it was a few years ago before
the introduction of the MoT equivalent. They were lucky to have two
working filaments at all, never mind dip.

Hoh boy, yes.

 

Dunleary.

 

Something I've always thought. Made up deliberately fucking awkward as
an exclusion process.

 

It's a kind of halfway solution to having bigger roads without much
extra cost. When the idea was originated it made a good deal of sense
considering the traffic volumes at the time and it still works well
enough up to moderate volumes of traffic.

It all goes to shite when some **** just won't pull over, and that
happens from time to time, especially when the driver in front just
feels dopey, bloody-minded or simply uncertain.

Officially, the yellow lanes are for cyclists and walkers and drivers
may pull in to allow overtaking. The problem is, if you spend any time
here you'll notice, the yellow lanes are liable to end suddenly and can
leave overtaken drivers facing a dead end.

Of course, most new roads are of DC standard where necessary.

 

Actually, it's (a) phonetic and (b) simplified.

 

"...renamed Kingstown in 1821 in honour of a visit by King George IV,
but reverted to its ancient Irish name by resolution of the town
council in 1921, one year before Irish independence."

 

Caighdeán Oifigiúil has it as "Gaeilge"

 

I understand your reference, but don't get why you've made it.

 

well, it is during the ~15 minutes each day when it isn't pissing down
with rain.

 

I dunno, it's pretty daft.

 

True. H and I spent some time in Gaoth Dobhair about 11 years ago. I've
got some fantastic photographs somewhere.

 

*ding* It is a nice part of the world IMO.
