Ireland is a beautiful country, we get the rain to keep it green and now the sun to show it off.

Been saying that for years. Ireland looks so much better when there is sunshine and warm weather. Even if it just lasted for the summer months. I´ve been all over the world and Ireland rivals everywhere i´ve been for natural beauty but unfortunately our weather lets us down and we never really get the opportunity to plan anything and enjoy it.

The West can be stunning, the sun hitting the sea in Crookhaven in Cork, or the Cliffs of Moher. Its incredible...

I thought this was a thread about Paul Williams latest scoop.

ireland does indeed have gorgeous scenery but you obviously havent been to switzerland , austria , south africa or new zealand , ireland is a plain jane by comparrison , we have gentle scenery as opposed to spectacular sights

Just finished a round of golf. What a morning for it! Even though I only got 4 hours sleep I couldn't wait to get up and bask in that heat!

Might head for a cycle now for ice cream

Walking along the prom in Salt Hill the last few days has been great. Lovely family atmosphere around the place. Relaxed as hell. The sun seems to calm us Irish down. Or perhaps it forces the worst of us indoors to get our fix of anti-social behaviour.

dunno...If Ireland's weather was like this all the time ("constantly this good ") we wouldn't have the nice, lush plants, deciduous trees, green grass etc that make the place look so great when the sun does come out.

Wow! Where's that? I might squat

It is actually unbelievable how nice it is out in the past few days.

It is a given however that the nicest weather will be now for about 2 or 3 weeks and then it will be miserable for the rest of the summer until roughly the end of August.

What i like about the good weather is the fact people are catching more Vitamin D which makes them happy

= an overall happier island with people actually being nice to each other for once.

however, do take care and drink fluids/put on cream or else you will be seeing plenty more of that lovely irish sun ... from inside A+E with your dehydration/sunstroke.

It's only decent from that angle tbh.

The 1 bedroom cottage I live in is about a hundred years old and the roof leaks. lol

Dying of hayfever with all this sunny weather. Hate it TBH. Gimme the rain anyday

Hung around Killiney/Killiney beach for most of the day. Weather and scenery were both incredible. The views and the architecture on the sea side of Killiney hill are jaw dropping.

It really gives explanation as to why several parts of Killiney are named after parts of Italy

I've been to New Zealand, Australia, Frace, Spain, Portugal, Greece/Crete, America ect...
I've seen all these countries have to offer. Yes, they are stunning but so is Ireland.
Just yesterday i was driving through the hills in Wicklow around Brittis Bay, the sceneary was just as good as anywhere else i've seen.
Wicklow wouldn't even be the best place to be looking.
Take a trip down to Innís Meain this summer, when you wake up in the morning, make sure the first thing you look at is the sun hitting The Cliffs of Moher.
Beautiful, just stunning.

If you really don't think Ireland can offer the same sort of stuff as the countries listed above, you are seriously in the dark.

Suck it up and enjoy the weather.

Majority of people just couldn't care/don't have time to appreciate the beauty this country has to offer, Majority are busy busy busy.

However I agree with the point that this country does indeed have some nice sights and scenery ( and the majority of people are nice , however there are a small minority dragging us down ).

Ann22

I was thinking about this yesterday when we took a spin out to Carlingford. It really is one of the most beautiful places ever! Wicklow is another place that would take your breath away. I was just saying to my oh....just to appreciate the view, imagine you lived all your life in Arizona, miles of arid dusty soil..then you came on holiday to Ireland. Just imagine how you'd feel looking around you. To live in a place like this with mountain and seas, all green and fresh, it's easy to take it for granted....the one good thing about our unreliable climate, is that every so often we get a gem of a day when the sun beams down and it's like turning on a light and we see our country with new eyes.

You're not wrong Ann22. The whole Carlingford/Ravensdale area is enough to make even a hardened old tough guy like Pighead swoon.

Went walking around the area last week with Miss Piggy and the dog and between the three of us we were swooning the whole day long. There's just so much to swoon at. Even the sheep are more swoony than your average sheep. That's Louth for you really. Like Kylie and little baby squirrels, It may be small but it's most certainly beautifully formed.

Don't tell me this, I left in search of sunnier climes and work! Next you'll be telling me the big "R" is over.

Ireland was nice enough today but this is not Ireland this is just rubbing our nose in it. Ireland is rainy, misery, negative equity, idiots voting for Fianna Fail, Rip-off everything, unattractive women with knack bellies hanging out, Ireland is snobbery and paying too much for everything. Don't get fooled people, this is some sort of bizarre weather for the benefit of tourists for everyone else Ireland is misery.

Took some photos today and while nice I would say that about 80% of the world would still kick Ireland's ass. I went to drive around the Ring of Kerry today but turned back at Waterville as tbh the Yungas road in Bolivia is an absolute Motorway in comparision, roads fit for donkeys nothing else.

Nothing real about that. Why in the name of god would we get so many people coming over here and having the time of their lives, even with the regular shít weather?

Ireland's class, embrasse it or GTFO as far as i'm concerned.

I think Ireland is good in its own way.

Sure its not as scenic as switzerland or newzeland but its still a pretty country.
I'ld say I prefer Dublin to most cities i've been to around the world.
Its small and there isn't much to do here but it still makes you feel good in a way.

And economy wise Ireland is not any worse than most other countries in this part of the world. Especially if you look at UK and USA, they're in pretty deep ****!

Why bring up the economy in a thread about the great weather??

Been to all of them except New Zealand. Heading there tonight though. And if you think those countries you listed have some of the best scenery in the world there must be a lot of places you have not been too. Or maybe we just have different tastes.

i was at the beach in killiney today, absolutely beautiful with the sun shining, killiney hill on one side around to bray head and the sugarloaf on the other.would love to have the millions to live in some of them houses on killiney hill.

I often thought about Ireland with a different climate, imagine the vineyards of Connemara and the orange groves of Donegal. Could happen.

Driving home from the OH's house this eve, there were people, and lots of them, swimming in the Weir in Lucan, I was nearly gonna park up and join them looked very inviting.. Was too tired though.. Happy Days though.. Long may it last.. The only downside of it is, we're all gona be on a serious downer when our 'real' climate returns
