IrishCentral's top ten must see places in Ireland - PHOTOS

ok, timeout, definition of terms needed... what's a "langer" and just how offensive/profane is it? of course, in the previous post, the more offensive the better!...

It's like talking to a 3 year old but here we go again. England is about the size of the state of Louisiana, Ireland about the size of Indiana or Maine. Not a knock just looking for perspective. The U.S. covers the size of Europe and coupled with its development during colonization and later influenced by immigration Americans are influenced by their ties to far away heritage or roots. Now I understand you are from England and you live in Cork, that you hate Americans and Irish tourism, but if you emigrated lets say to Dubai you would most likely still have a tie to your native land, your children provided you can find a willing partner, will most likely also share a fondness for the land that spawned their father, and presuming said child raises their offspring in a loving and caring way ,will be proud of both their current country and the country that spawned their grandparents. The connection to one's heritage is very important to emigrant's sons and daughters, something I thought you would understand since Emigrating from England,or France, but hardly Cork you Langer.

@@@@@slainte39 | Apr 24, 2012, 09:45 PM EDT For this poster who is hung up on geographical names and places. IRELAND is an island consisting of two countries...The Republic of Ireland and Northern IRELAND,which is part of a larger entity called The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern IRELAND consisting of four countries. What is so startling about St. Patrick's Cathedral being Anglican,as if nobody knew. I'm Catholic and been there many times with my Anglican wife and taken communion there. St.Patrick, himself, is buried in an Anglican churchyard in Downpatrick. You act as though Anglican's dont have saints too Bythebay, you are a little slow, to be posting facts on this board.>>>>>>> YES MATE WE KNOW THAT BUT ALOT OF THE AMERICANS ON HERE DONT KNOW THAT IM IRISH SOUTHERN IRELAND IN CO.CORK I KNOW N IRELAND IS PART OF UK ..NO PROBS WIT THAT THE BRITS THE UK ETC ETC) UNFORTUNATELY ALOT OF PEOPLE ON HERE ARE MOSTLY AMERICAN AND THEY ARE NOT THE MOST ENLIGHTENED PEOPLE AROUND..

My favorite place in Ireland, the seat next to my cousin in an out of the way Pub.

with the stunning menu of choices offered to visitors by the 32 counties, Ireland will be a dream trip for our great grandshildren and far beyond.

Murph46 Hi, true, judging someones country and comparing it to your own wherever you're from is such a lousy way to live. Maybe these people are mad at their mothers or bitter in their own lives and need to slag someone off to feel good, bullying I think its called. Yeah theres a lot of whiners on this site and pessimism, Irish Americans are a great bunch, always know that. Ya get a hard time though from various folk. But do as you've always done, shoulders back, chin up, elbows out, you proved yourselves, we know this.

The Rock of Cashel is impressive, and take a nice drive down to the coast, you can't beat Kinsale nice harbor town.

Six counties of northern Ireland (Armagh/Cavan/Donegal/Monaghan/Fermanagh/Tyrone), are nice. As Dubliner's, checked into the LondonDerry Arms hotel many years ago with my then girlfriend for a dirty weekend. Was round about the Glorious 12th. Orange Order marching season. Made the mistake of checking in as Mr. & Mrs. Ned Lundy. What you might call a bonfire of the vanities. Had unordered chargrilled steakes delivered by room service. Subsequently became vegetarian. Felt as welcome as African-American's at a Ku Klux Klan gathering in Mississippi burning. Phew! Were lucky to ecape with our southern, fenian, papist idolators (sfpi) lives.

The Glens of Antrim -especially the Antrim Coast Road - is one of the many scenic areas in the North of Ireland. The area remains unspoilt and is the place to visit for culture and craic.

Powerscourt waterfall is a nice take.

TayandCake-there are those from Eire who judge America on these very pages-Don't have a clue why anyone should judge another country anywhere.I know it is a bone of contention as to whether people like me from US are Irish so I call myself AmeriIrish and go forth.Byethe bay I'm leaving for a week to golf in Florida as our weather has turned cold again!

BredanDunphy you tit, who are you to judge a entire country. Feeble minded bigot.

Nythebay,now Ya got my Irish Up with the info about Castle Barna,I love Irish courses.If you play a big cut on the first tee on Ballybunion,you fly over the cemetary and guess whose grave? Murphy's of course!

what I remember about the top of Healy Pass, besides the breathtaking view looking down, was Don's Mountain Cabin and being able to stand with one foot in Cork and one in Kerry
