Ireland facts - what you really need to know?

Top of the list of Ireland facts is that Ireland is a very easy country to get around, english speaking throughout, apart from a few Gaeltacht areas the currency used is euro and local time GMT. Public transport is limited, good mainline trains and buses but after that you really need a car or bike to explore deeper into the countryside, though there are plenty of organised bus tours from the main cities. For further details see the getting about link below....

Keep an eye out for notices of events happening locally as these are often spontaneous, FREE and great fun, like traditional music sessions in pubs. Weather wise come prepared, you could get all four seasons thrown at you in a day and it doesnt rain all the time.....

Remember if in doubt just ask, we Irish love to talk, and you will find most people extremely helpful.
