If you could live anywhere in Ireland, where would you live?

I'd buy the blaskets and open a pub there with a thatched roof, a red timber door and shmoke billowing out the chimney. Inside I'd have some of Ireland's most obscure craft beers on tap. I'd generate power using a Listeroid engine and a couple of solar panels on the hen house. A donkey would be stationed outside to help visitors carry their bags back to their boat. I'll be keeping livestock in another part of the building, with the same kind of red door so the uninitiated would have no way of knowing which is which. Halfway through the year I'd switch them around

Hipsters would travel from all over the world to visit Ireland's remotest pub. I reckon it will do quite well, twould be a badge of honour to have a selfie of oneself inside in this pub.

If I won the Lotto I'd live in Blackrock Village - but shocking dear.

What do you see in Blackrock village that no other place has?

I used to pass through there every day and it's a dump, the traffic is also desperate

O were I in the Moss House, where the birds do increase,
By the foot of Mount Leinster, or in some silent place,
By the streams of Bunclody, where all pleasures do meet…

Probably the only town in Ireland with a stream running down the centre of the main street. Lovely countryside around, very neatly kept, and sunnier weather than most of the country - though its economy has crashed in the last couple of years.

Jesus I went on some truly frightening class A fueled benders down there during the 90s.

How I fondly don't remember, partying with the Crusties & their lurchers back in the days of yore :pac:
