 People Getting to know the Irish is
like finding a friend for life, but there are a few things you should know
beforehand… Did you know? The Irish love a good excuse for a party.
The country is legendary for its “craic” (good fun), and
“fleadhs“ (traditional music events), festivals and fairs are a
massive part of cultural life whether it’s the gastronomic delights of the
Kinsale Gourmet Festival or the high-brow Dublin Theatre Festival.
Travel in Ireland
1 of 5 The Irish like to think that Celtic blood flows through the
veins of all the great and the good. Among those we are proud to call our own
are John F. Kennedy, Davy Crockett, Gene Kelly, Grace Kelly and Ned Kelly, too.
On St. Patrick’s Day, though, everyone’s Irish. So don your green and
enjoy one of the many St. Patrick’s Day festivals around the world. Travel
to Ireland.
 The Irish accent is famed the world over for its
romantic and lyrical lilt, but it’s not until you actually get to Ireland
that you realize how different accents around the country can be. To start
with, in the Republic of Ireland (except for counties Monaghan and Donegal)
Hiberno-English is spoken, while in Ulster the form of English is called
mid-Ulster English. And within these areas in Ireland there’s a huge
difference in how accents sound, too. You could never confuse a Belfast man
with a Dubliner, nor a Kerry man with a Galway local. But the real key to the
Irish lilt is the speed in which the words come out – so listen carefully
to keep up. The Irish of the north, south, east, west and midlands all love to
tell a story or two and it would be a shame to miss out!As a race, we’re
proud of the Irish language. So proud, in fact, that the Community, Rural and
Gaeltacht Minister passed regulations that decree only the Gaelic versions of
place names and street signs are to be used in Gaeltacht areas – regions
where the Irish language is officially the major language. Just be sure to
bring a map with you when travelling. And to make things a little more
interesting, in the North of Ireland, Ullans is spoken. This beautiful language
is a unique form of Scots-Irish and is peculiar to the Ulster region.
