Why not? It's good to travel. There are so many places out there that if you are drawn to any country, regardless of the reason, then just go. I will say that the image people have does not always tie in exactely with the reality. Not in a negative way mind. We do still have a cobble or two and you might be able to find a bar if you look realy hard(out your window). I can't realy say that we're all friendly, you know self praise and all that, but if you do come I'm sure you'll find a perfect mix of history, culture and socialising to make it memorable.
wow that was long winded. i probably could have just left it at Why not?

Yup - come on over. As others have said, the west of Ireland is beautiful & offers everything a tourist could want.

And don't forget to travel up north too. The Antrim coast is splendid and the Giant's Causeway is iconic.

of course it's realistic and if you want to mingle all you have to do is start chatting, Irish people will literally talk to anyone, well most of us will anyway! We don't need you to have any roots here to enjoy your company!
Dublin is as cool as the next place despite all those negative sorts, Kilkenny and Galway are beautiful too, pints and cobblestones sounds right just about anywhere!

I'm with Orla C - if you want to find the real Irish people go to the West Coast. The main income over there comes from tourism so you will find some tacky areas, but scratch beneath the surface and you'll find the most beautiful towns and villages, magnificent scenery, and really great people. I'm an English woman who travels frequently to County Kerry, usually on my own, and I always look forward to going.

There's absolutely no problem with coming to Ireland just to chat among us Irish. The Guiness is worth a trip to Ireland alone.

I've got the fever too. After I saw Sam Brown's visit there. The people are so friendly and hey, I'm up for a pint right now. In case you don't know Sam Brown has here own show on the travel channel. It's great fun to watch.

thats not lame at all. but dont go to dublin because you will not find an irish person. try westport, connemara, donegal or kerry. hope you have a great time. keep your theme in mind and go with the flow. you will find what your looking for.

You don't have to have roots to be drawn to a place....if you can swing it go for it! I just started my Ireland/Scotland fund, before I die these are the 2 places I want to be able to say I have seen in my life time!!

You should go i went for a semester abroad in Ireland and fell in love with it, i cant wait to go back and i thought it was a bit odd since i dont have any irish in me to my knowledge and no family over there but i really wanted to go and did and it was one of the best experiences of my life.

Well, we're not all party animals, some of actually work for a living .... and I'm trying to think of where there are cobblestone streets outside of Dublin.

Basically, bud, you get back what you put in. You want a casual holiday, then come on over. But head west for the real Ireland, Dublin is still very much an English city in feel if not in politics.
