    Do you regard the UK as a foreign country ?

    or maybe the neighboring ex parent state of our former jurisdiction ?

    or as ''local as the next parish'', after all, you could jump on a 16 in O'Connell Street head up to the airport and be in Manchester or Heathrow while someone else is barely past Moate on the bus to Galway, ( not a specific example, but you get the idea ).

    I'm British and to me Ireland is a foreign country even after over 5 years living here, so I'd say yes.


    Now, lets sit back and count how many posts it is until the term "butchers apron" is used.

    Depends what you mean by a foreign country. If you mean in the usual sense then yes.

    Of course its a foreign country and as Northern Ireland is part of the UK, it is also a foreign country which happens to have a land border with ROI.

    The UK/Britain is the least foreign 'foreign' place from the average Irish person's perspective I reckon.

    I don't consider Welsh, Scotch or English people foreign foreign iykwim.

    As long as it is subsumed (nice word) into somewhere that know how to run a country, I could not give a fook, and the UK will not be one of them, once Scotland get its independence we will talk, or some country in Africa.
