What should you never do when visiting Ireland? What are the mistakes you don’t want to do when living in Ireland? This is my experience from 4 years living in Ireland.
For some, Ireland is the land of saints and scholars, a peaceful isle of rolling hills and lilting music. It is all of that and more, but it’s also a place of quirks and odd habits. So how to navigate this little island at the edge of Europe? It will take longer than this video to understand the Irish people, but you’ll be off to a good start with this handy list of don’ts of traveling to Ireland or living in Ireland.
As long as you don’t greet them by saying ‘top of the morning’ (for those that don’t already know, this phrase is Hollywood Irish – no real Irish person ever says it), the Irish are generally laid-back, and visitors will get along fine just by adhering to general standards of etiquette and using their common sense. But if you want to have the smoothest trip possible, here are a few things you probably shouldn’t do in Ireland.
THE MOST IMPORTANT of them all, DON’T say it’s part of the UK!
This is arguably the single biggest faux pas you can make when talking to an Irish person. Although 26 of Ireland’s 32 counties officially became a republic almost 70 years ago – and had been designated an independent state for nearly 30 years before that – the whole country is still sometimes mistakenly described as being part of the United Kingdom, an error that its citizens find highly offensive.
I hope you all enyoded this one and I shall see you all next week.
Cheers! 🍺
