I wanted to visit, but the nonsense tied to it put me off. I am required to write a biography of each of my family members, several letters begging to enter the country, along with some oaths. I have so many sisters here, and don't forget, I have nephews and a grand-nephew, as well.
ireland12345: ever be to ireland and what did you think
I was in Dublin last September, and loved it. The friend I went to see and stayed with for 6 days was very nice
The sun even shone for most of the time I was there. The countryside was so different from where I live in Australia, particularly the sweeping grasses along the cliff sides.
And as for public transport, train travel was so easy and convenient. So cute how everything was repeated twice, both Irish and Gaelic, such as train station and street names. I could go on.

Not for a long time, too long in fact.
Great place, wonderful people, well worth a visit.
To get an idea of the place and its people, check out Tony Hawks book 'Round Ireland With a Fridge' A journalist bets his friend he can hitch hike around the coast of Ireland with a fridge.
I'm only referring to why they give you such a hassle over it. I mean, a bio on every family member etc? How ridiculous. You're not applying for the secret service!
