    Cliffs of Moher. Come and see a huge amount of water from a great height while another huge amount of water falls on top of you from an even greater height.

    Heard that on Savage eye I think.

    Come visit our green and magical island! All those stories of bad weather is just FAKE NEWS! There are PLENTY of things for the kids to do and see, and if it does rain, sure we have PLENTY of indoor parks and... etc.
    And the best bit: our national flag was made especially for your great president.

    Maybe we can sell that as a tourist activity. "Come to Ireland and pick up our litter."

    Picked a full black bag of cans off the beach last week.

    Ireland - walk amongst an ancient plastic riddled landscape. Come see the high skanger kings holding court at the foothills of ancients towns. Marvel at the dilapidated infrastructure and forget it all existed afterwards in a haze of overpriced slosh...

    Now ye're talkin'.

    Fake news! 😁.

    A new tagline for the campaign:

    None of them foreign types, even if only visiting with their dollars and euros. If Ireland is full, it's full. That's logic.

    Screenshot from 2024-01-24 16-15-26.png

    Failte Ireland has got it's hands full now. With the logic that foreigners are not welcome because Ireland is full, which should obviously include tourists, they have a PR problem: tourists bring cash. But if towns like Roscrea are full - coz to say otherwise is fake news - what they gonna do? They need to rebrand Ireland;

    Money isn't racist. Neither are we.

    (As long as you bring your money, and don't try to live here, unless you're setting up a multinational company, oh - and doing important work like nursing etc. Having a right-wing fundamentalist housing outsourcing policy means that fleeing persecution doesn't cut it - but only as long as it takes to sort the self-inflicted housing crisis out).

    I don't think the caveat would fit on the side of an aircraft though.

    The Land Of People With Irish Names That Can't Speak Irish.

    Would you like to be charged ridiculous prices for a few pints, get into a row with a stranger over who is first in the queue, have your best friend partially vomit on your pizza but still eat it anyway, and freeze for three hours while you wait for a taxi to finish all the town runs before he brings you out to where you're staying just outside of town? Then visit any town in Ireland.

    Ireland. It's like Sweden, but dysfunctional.

    Ireland. We're not English in the way the English are not German.

    Ireland. We eat a blood product for breakfast. Are you up to the challenge of that, you pussy?

    And on the 8th day, God created Ireland, and then cancelled the 8th day and gave up on the world.

    Visit Munster. The only place in the world where the top is called Tipp, there's a Cork in the bottom, and it's biggest joke is a Limerick.
