halloween was originated in Ireland
🇮🇪 thats the irish flag
ireland originally spoke irish/gaeilge until the plantation happened and we were under english rule, ever since then weve spoken english although some parts of the country still speak irish
i truly believe no non-irish person would ever be able to understand and isish person talking because of their accent, especially if they're from cork or Dublin
Ireland is famous for its stunning landscapes, rich history, vibrant culture, and warm hospitality
there are no snakes in ireland
the great famine occurred in ireland which caused many people to move into different countries, thats why every second person you meet says they have irish ancestors 😭
one of the oldest pubs in the world is in ireland and ive been there
st valentine's remains are kept in a church in dublin
