I have been to Ireland just once but I am looking forward to going again soon. The people of Ireland are some of the warmest most welcoming people in the world.
Living in England I have met plenty of people from Ireland, mostly musicians, such as Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy and Van Morrison. The music that comes from Ireland always tells a story of what the passion is in the country.
There are some great food all over Ireland from the local pubs and bars to the best restaurants in the world.
