Ireland

Are there border checks on this border? I, (U.S. citizen) am traveling with a friend (Indian citizen) to Dublin and I'd like to go into Northern Ireland since I have old family from just over the border. My friend is getting a visa to Ireland but doesn't want to get a visa for U.K. and worries that she'll be caught there without one if we venture north. A friend who is Mexican went last year and says there is no checking of passports or visas and he traveled freely.
Also, my friend says it's still dangerous there while I have the impression that the situation has calmed down in recent years.
Thanx.

A friend and I are traveling to Dublin and around Ireland in late May. We're very excited and starting our planning early. The subject of what to wear weighs heavily on our minds and my friend is planning on showing off her legs in shorts but I'm thinking it might be a bit nippy still. Also, I'm not sure how casual one should be in some of the smaller or formal places we might visit . . .I don't want to stick out like a typical tourist at first glance! Any hints from frequent visitors and natives?

Also, I'm looking for good tips for nice homey pubs to visit and places with oysters not too expensive!

Many thanks,
Michal

Hi. I was wondering if there were any 'books on tape' lessons for learning Irish. I would like to learn it up to a conversational level and can find nothing here in my local book stores. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

They're the best self-promoters in the world, that's all. If you want genuine warmth and hospitality go to somewhere like Lebanon (when there's no war on).

So I am English and two of my mates are as well. early 20's and I've been to Dublin loads and loads of times (some of the best times of my life). Any chance of some ideas from those who've been to Dublin or live there how to convince my mates who think that Dublin will be a crap weekend, to get thier arses over there?

I think i've tried everything except paying for a flight out of my own pocket!

I recently posted a question to find more info. and such on Ireland. I wanted to Thank those that responded.

I just wanted to point a few things out. First off, part of the project is a book of 138 pages, that have to be filled. Of course it has questions and directions on each page. She is in honors 5th grade ect.

This is her project, but yes I am helping her, so she does not get overwhelmed....isn't that what parents do? As for posting the questions myself, I did that for safety reason because my child is only ten. Thank you.

Before anyone harps on me for leaving the US, its not because I don't love my country because I do, I just feel a strong pull and call to go to Ireland. Now to my ???...I want to live somewhere I will see all four seasons. Not to big of a city but not a small town with dirt roads either...good scenery and last but not least, I need a Ford dealership near by!!! I currently work for Ford and its where all my education is invested in so I want to stay with the company. Any ideas? What's it like to live in such a beautiful place? Any feedback would be wonderful!

My 10 year old child is doing a school project on Nations/country and she picked Ireland. She has a week left to finish the project. We have a lot of good information so far. But still need more, like...foods/drinks,17th - 18th century women's clothing, everyday life, the laws, health/wealth, ect.... Also "real" photos that are not copyrighted. We have googled just about everything and have come up with some things, but many have a copyright.
Like I said this will be for my 10 year old child's school project, so any real and safe information you have will be greatly appreciated. You can email me if you have other ideas or photos or would like to help us that we can use for her Ireland project. But please keep everything clean. Pretty much anything Ireland (safe and nonperverted) might work or give us more ideas. Thanks

do you feel about a member of your Royal Family risking his life for you? Will you have a parade for him when he gets back to the UK?

I'm an American who wishes to study politics, law, or history. can anyone give me some information. If I go to school in Ireland I plan on living there. any information about other schools such as maynooth, uc-cork, galway, u-ulster, and Queens University Belfast would also be a big help. the person who writes the most gets points.
