Soppy bastard showing your feelings. Best for you to stay gone and not infect us with your emotions:mad:

There are worse places most certainly... worse people too... it’s alright, thought they’d have fixed the weather though...

I really don't get or see this grey, grim, overpriced or depressing place that people often mention.

Ignoring all the Covid stuff this year, Ireland is a beautiful country with great countryside, coastline and towns and cities.

A vibrant social scene, love of arts and music, good quality food in our shops, and people who in my experience have an outlook on life and ability to enjoy life unlike many other nationalities I have met.

I've lived abroad in The Netherlands and the people to me whilst nice and friendly are dull and dour and speaking of grey, the whole country is practically one colour, towns all red or brown brick and not colourful like you'd see in Irish villages.

I know many may not like the weather, and I won't argue with it but even a few days ago it was bright and crisp which was nice and also we don't get extremes like other places.

I'm very happy to be back and I think people need to go abroad for a while to realise what is good here.

No matter how much money as a country you have you can never replicate the Cliffs Of Moher.

I love how scenic the country is.

I don't love how it is run by times.

Aside from Dublin and cork, a cultural backwater.

I live in Oman, a land of eternal sunshine and warm to extremely hot temperatures. It's stunningly beautiful, mountains, the Arabian sea, friendly and warm people, not unlike Irish people in fairness (unlike the rest of the Gulf).

But at this time of year, I can't wait to get back to walking into a warm pub from a cold night, fire blazing, pints of guinness, bacon fries and taytos. My breakfast overlooking my swimming pool this morning was really nice but I know which I'd rather.

Haven’t been in my local more than 3-4 times since February; while I’m there last week three people came up (socially distanced on the other side of the table as they went the jacks!) and said they’d heard about my dad and that he was a gent. He’d been in his nursing home this four years past. Yet they remembered him and came to tell me. Two bought pints!

You rarely get that outside of Ireland. So it pisses down constantly - I’ll take the trade!!!

I'd always say the greatest quality of life are outside the cities, but each to there own.

I drove across that border. Turned back 5 minutes in to Oman. A bit too third worldish (by comparison).

I concede more interesting scenery.

Not exactly cultural hotbeds either tbh unless you've never actually set foot outside of Ireland. Actually I'd say you're from Cark yourself and only grudgingly included Dublin in what you wrote.

Culture isnt big buildings and foreign clothes retailers. This country has a great deal of culture and most of it is out in the small country towns and villages.
