is ireland a safe place to visit? there is alot of violence over thr with the IRA and stuff!!?

Answer 1

No, its not safe...not for stupid ignorant people like you. We are too intelligent...you'll be ridiculed. Don't come.

Answer 2

Ireland is very safe. I have been there three times, and never had a problem. The first time i went I only saw one missing person posted all throughout the country. I did a paddywagon tour, and would sometimes wonder off on my own, often drunk and had no problems, locals would even direct me to my hostel.

the north is the same, just don't talk politics or ask questions about the ira.

the only place i would be careful in is Dublin, like any capital city the more people the more dangerous, just always know where your money and your passport are.

Answer 3

aaaah this questions makes my blood boil! The media in America or wherever ur from must hype up any bad thing that happens over here, I have lived in Northern Ireland all my life have seen bad things happen but bad things happen all over the world,I don't know what part of Ireland your planning on visiting but as far as I know the republic of Ireland is a peaceful place OK there is the odd bar brawl etc but tourists are safe I've been to most parts of Ireland and have not felt in danger for the past 8 years or so, the only places you might want to avoid are the falls area and shankill areas of Belfast, but even these places are not deemed dangerous anymore u can even get a guided tour around them, check out the tourist board website s and get some info.

Answer 5

Are you visiting the North or the South? These are two separate countries with totally different political systems. If you are visiting the South of Ireland (Cork, Dublin etc) you have nothing to worry about. The North is also very safe however, you will notice a major difference between these two places as you will still see reminisce of fighting.

Answer 6

Most of the violence takes place in Ulster, Northern Ireland. There is a fairly good arguement for the fact that Ulster really isn't Ireland at all. Eire is usually a very safe and very beautiful place to visit.

Answer 7

You won't get any trouble from the IRA.

Be careful where you go though as there are still armed British soldiers there. Northern Ireland is still occupied by the English and, as with all occupied countries, there is a possibility of some danger.

Answer 8

Of course it depends where you're going, maybe some sections of dublin could be a problem. But I've been there twice and the people there were friendly, corteous, helpful. I was in the south eastern section of Ireland. I think in 99% of the places if you lost your wallet with an ID, it would be returned to you. And it's a beautiful country, I highly recommend the trip...go to the cliffs of Mohr.

Answer 9

The worst place in Ireland is safer than the safest place in America. The IRA hasn't been active for years. The citizens don't own guns. You might get your butt kicked in the wrong pub but it is far more likely you'll get a sore throat from drinking and singing.

Answer 10

Umm, News flash, the IRA is in a peace treaty/ceasefire agreement for almost a decade now. You should definitely research more about Ireland before going. Try reading stuff from the last decade or so.

Answer 11

Ireland can be extremely dangerous. In Ireland they have things called pubs. In these pubs you sit at a bar and drink a beverage named Guinness. They have all sorts of cute advertising slogans for it ("Guinness is good for you!") but the truth is much different. After consuming 12 or more of these nasty brews, you can fall of your bar stool and severely injure yourself. You can even end up in an EAIHL (Embarassing Alcohol-Induced Homosexual Liaison).

Be very careful. Ireland has not received FDA approval. There's probably a reason for that.
