Good things - Culture, following of music, rich history.. Great sights to see, not too hot (although rains a bit too much).

Bad things - Expensive to live here, housing costs, food, drink, Stupid things like VRT... Awful health system and roadworks. Weather is about as predictable as an ostrich on steroids.

Still in saying that, I like Ireland. Just a bit costly. But if you're rich and healthy, the craic is ninety.
People, scenery, culture, decent Guinness, relatively safe, little or no chance of being killed in a natural disaster.

No doubt the usual suspects will be on saying how much better things are in Belgium or wherever but that's my opinion
Good Things: Our sense of pride, our down to earth attitude, our dark humour, Father Ted, The fact we turned ourselves from a third world country into a rich country and our ability to absorbs huge quantities of alochol

Bad Things: Justice and Health System, Very limited on what you can buy, expensive and Knackers
