Oh it is great place for a break. Great for walks and no light pollution, you can see the stars at night. People are nice enough. Some are a bit innocent do. Not such a bad thing I suppose, until they move to a large place.
Plenty of places to escape from people, when you want alone time.
Cows do not like me do. They be looking at you when you be walking.
That may creep out a city folk. It creeps me out and I am from the country.
I don't like cows of any species anyway do. |

I love it. Only bad thing is there's no 'convenience', late shops etc. But other than that, a real sense of community with the area, and I genuinely love 'rural' Ireland. |

Rural Tipperary is grand. I grew up here and returned to live here a few years ago. There's great community life, my particular village is full of characters identical to those from Killinascully or Fr Ted (Pat Shortt grew up a few miles from here). If you don't know those shows, look them up on youtube. There are still ould fellas who drive to Mass on a Sunday in their tractors, women who wear headscarves when they're out in public, and children who are allowed to go off exploring the woods and fields without fears of them being abducted. We have broadband, telephones, running water, modern houses (well, most of us, not me, I live in a wreck), shops, pubs, etc. If you're a teenager it's probably pretty boring, but for children, parents and grown-ups, it's a pretty decent place to be. Having a car is essential though. There is no public transport at all and you need to travel to get to a supermarket/bank/post Office/doctor/pretty much every public service you can think of. Health services are nonexistent locally, 40 miles to the closest hospital, and even that one doesn't have all the resources necessary. If you can get a local job, it's brilliant. If you are unemployed, it sucks. Likewise if you are rich it makes it a much nicer place to live. Rural poor probably have it the worst of all in the country, as they are isolated geographically as well as financially. Having said that, community spirit is alive and well in the villages in these parts, and it's a rare character who wouldn't be helped out by their neighbours. |

It's quiet, but friendly. People know each other, and it's very common to say hello to each other when you're out walking or cycling. Not to do so would be considered extremely rude. |

its great, you can walk around your house naked having system of a down playing full blast... as long as the rest of your family are out of course. Only bad thing is, everybody knows everybody.... EVERYBODY! |

I'm from rural Kerry.
My town was pretty small..like really.
Everyone knows your business...
Ehm, it was still a nice "community" though
It did get quite boring, but it's really nice if you enjoy the outdoors. I loved to muck about in the garden and plant herbs and flowers and such. Didn't have a horse though, but love photography so i got some well great shots from out there.
It's very peaceful but boring.
The best is where you can live in the country, but still not too far away from a major city you know? |

generally speaking it's slower but richer. I love it for a while but always come back to Dublin in the end. |

I live in a very rural part of Kildare. it has beautiful scenery but no amenities. The nearest village would probably be about 5km away and i have to travel about 20km to get to school. apart from that i love living here. it is where i was born and reared, there is a great sense of community, everyone knows each other and i don't think i would be able to live in a big town or city after living here. |

Boring unless your into something.........like photography or horse riding. You have to make an effort to keep yourself occupied, be outdoorsy. Broadband helps :) |

Mountains to the back of me and the river in my front garden, more millionaires per square mile than anywhere else. |

why all the questions about ireland |

Not much going for it. Ireland is pretty barren and full of flies. |

A...

Boring, cold, unfriendly, xenophobic, dull..
Why I like Ireland:
1)Because I taste myself how much can I stand racial abuse
2)Because I like to see only whites
3)Because I don't have time for friends and chat
4)Because I don't like good shopping and good quality of products
5)Because I believe the natives are always superiors
6)Because I don't believe a good education system helps a lot
7)Because I have no problems to see litter everywhere and I don't consider it offense
8)Because I think that renting a good house is a privilege
9)Because I like the weather
10)Because I have no problems with vandals and people who don't feel ashamed to spit on the pavements in front of others
11)Because I may need not to visit a hospital in my life
and so many other things I can't think right now |
