I have to say the mountains, amazing coastline and the characters you come across to name a few :-)

The scenery is beautiful, I have lived in other countries but what always brought me back was my family. That is what I love about Ireland.

The begrudgery and negativity...oh wait....

family and good friends definitely!

The fields, mountains, old ruins and the butter. I also really like the weather everyone seems to hate - rainy, dreary and a bit misty. We are so lucky to have a temperate climate with little to no surprises.

people with rabbit like teeth... love them, they are everywhere

Red Lemonade

Coddle and Stew.

GAA

TK Red Lemonade and Hang Sammiches

Balmed Out

Scenery, nightlife, culture, openness, friendliness, people in general care about others around them

I know I'm not going to meet with a lot of understanding for this, but...

The weather.

I love it. I really, really do.
I grew up in Germany, with summers of around 35+, and winters of 20-. For most of the year, I was either constantly dehydrated, sweating and unable to sleep, or cold and afraid to set foot outside for slipping on ice.

Here, there is no summer or winter, Ireland simply offers constant spring or autumn weather, and it suits me down to the ground.

Of course that's not the only thing I like, I also adore the landscapes, the coastlines, I love how colourful a lot of the houses are, I like the people, and even though there are a lot of things that still seem very strange to me I just love the place. But mostly the weather.

love the weather too, nothing like a good walk along the coast on a windy misty rainey day, freshens you up, great stuff :-)

Definitely the Giant's Causeway, Newgrange, the ring of Kerry and the cliffs of Moher. All incredibly unique and beautiful places to visit in Ireland. Why any tourists go to Dublin is beyond me!

Guinness and the pub culture in the small bars that haven't changed for the last 50 years.

No natural predators, the lack of poisonous insects, snakes etc, no earthquakes/volcanoes.
I like the colour, green everywhere you look once you get out of the cities. I like our weather, all my happy memories (b-days, paddy's day, summers) it's been rainy, I associate it with happiness and contentment.
I like our culture, we're quite easy going compared to plenty of other cultures. I love our sense of humour.

Banter and humour.

You can say whatever you want amongst friends and not be accused of being anything because it's for the laugh.

The quality of pints.

I love how everyone is into sport that I like (rugby and soccer).

Obviously family and friends, they go without saying.

The fact that it is socially acceptable to go out and get langers drunk for a weekend without being questioned.

Duff

I love how the weather never fails to disappoint me.

Also, the craic you can have and not be frowned upon compared to some other countries.

dirtyghettokid

sense of humour, hands down

followed by the scenery

and the breakfasts. can't forget the aul cup of tea (lyons!) as well

The airport?

Laid back attitude. Desire to enjoy life more than become successful. That has it's downsides but having seen the other extreme it's definitely preferable.

The weather
The people
The countless prospects
The health service
The low tax system and the benefits

Taytos.

The pub scene is still great here, but dying a death of late, Dollymount, a nature reserve in the heart of a busy city with a view of the ships coming in and other people just enjoying the beach and its activities.

I hate the way they allow cars up on the beach, my only crib about it.

The culchie vs jackeen 'wit'. As seen above. Hilarious.

I hope to God you're trying to be funny

It is definitely the sense of humour. Even if you look to the famous, "serious" actors we have produced like Brendan Gleeson, Michael Fassbender, Liam Neeson, etc, they all have a great sense of humour even for the roles they are known for.

I think it is the fact that Irish people have the capacity to laugh at themselves. If you can't do that once every so often life can be very dull.

I just came back from a 17 day trip around the country, pretty much did the whole coast from Derry back round to Donegal and despite all our problems we have a lot to love.
The scenery, the people, the food, the craic. you dont really see it in your day to day life but if you get out and explore Ireland you'll soon see we're pretty lucky.
