What do you like about Ireland

Chris P Duck

OK....We as Irish have turned moaning into an art form. We comlpain about everything (i.e. prices, public transport, the health services, the weather, etc). But no matter where we go in the world, when we get recognised as irish or we meet someone else who is Irish we fill up with so much pride.

So what is it you like so much about this little island other than it not been england??

Just Do. It's a dna thing. All the problems with Ireland are Government related, all the good things are people related.

i.e. roads, price beer, hospitals etc as apposed to good pub grup, homely, genuine support and good will from a vast majority of people. People not too far up their own arses

Try living in England for a while and you will truely understand what I mean, especially the pub grub part.
