Known for it\u2019s green countryside and interesting cities, Ireland has a great deal of culture .\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ireland of the Postcard<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Don’t think the Ireland of postcards is just a two-dimensional fiction: it very much exists. You’ll find it along the peninsulas of the southwest, in the brooding loneliness of\u00a0Connemara<\/a>\u00a0and the dramatic wildness of County Donegal. It can be uncovered in the lakelands of Counties Leitrim and Roscommon and the undulating hills of the sunny southeast (‘sunny’ of course being a relative term). Ireland has modernised dramatically, but some things endure. Brave the raging Atlantic on a crossing to Skellig Michael or spend a summer’s evening in the yard of a thatched-cottage pub and you’ll experience an Ireland that has changed little in generations.<\/span><\/p>\n

T\u00e1 F\u00e1ilte Romhat<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

On the plane and along your travels you might hear it said:\u00a0t\u00e1 F\u00e1ilte romhat\u00a0(taw fall-cha row-at) \u2013 ‘You’re very welcome’. Or, more famously,\u00a0c\u00e9ad m\u00edle f\u00e1ilte\u00a0\u2013 a hundred thousand welcomes. Irish friendliness is a tired clich\u00e9, an over-simplification of a character that is infinitely complex, but the Irish are nonetheless warm and welcoming. Wherever you meet them there’s a good chance a conversation will begin, pleasantries will be exchanged and, should you be a stranger in town, the offer of a helping hand extended. But, lest you think this is merely an act of unfettered altruism, rest assured that the comfort they seek is actually their own, for the Irish cannot be at ease in the company of those who aren’t. A hundred thousand welcomes. It seems excessive, but in Ireland, excess is encouraged, so long as it’s practised in moderation.<\/span><\/p>\n
