A. There are no KingdomHalls in Ireland. I love living in Dublin Because It seems like you're in the Middle of Nowhere (exadurating) and Then You go around the Corner into a Big,Busy City. A passport costs around 65Euro and if you're not a legal citizan, you must have a visa.

A. Haggis is Scottish -- i have no idea why people keep confusing Ireland with Scotland.. they are very different countries. Haven't seen Leap castle, but i did live in Leap (west cork) for a few years. Am currently sitting in a house in Lisheen funnily enough (don't live here though), but have not seen the ruins. I have done many a jig, my daughter laughs her head off. I have been quite drunk in Ireland yes, but quit drinking a couple of years ago.

Does Ireland have better weather during the fall or spring semester?
Q. I'm planning to study abroad in Ireland (Dublin) next school year but I'm not sure which semester would be a better time weather-wise to go. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me when does Dublin generally experience better weather: in the fall or the spring? I'm going to be there in from late August - end of November or January - early May.

A. At one point their religion was banned; Irish Catholics weren't allowed to practice their religion, although most did so secretly. Land ownership was also banned. Oh, and I think they weren't allowed to speak their native Irish language.

What is the policy of the Republic of Ireland regarding Northern Ireland?
Q. Traditionally and today, what is the relationship between the Republic of Ireland, and Sinn Fein (and the republican movement in general, including the IRA)? Has there been a time when Eire has favoured the North's absorption into a united Ireland? If the Republic have distanced themselves from the idea, what has been the response of influential figures like Gerry Adams or Martin McGuinness? If the Republic refused to unite, how might this change the aspirations of the republicans in the North?

A. In the past few years, the relationship with sinn fein has been rather cool. this is mainly because the governing party. fianna fail, has traditionally regarded itself as the 'REAL' republican party. sinn fein has only 5 seats in the republic'S parliament(166 SEATS) and is fast losing influence with the voters in the republic, since its views on economics, foreign affairs etc. are too far left. since the 'Good friday' agreement, sinn fein has mainly been seen as a 'One trick pony' and is being largely ignored by voters south of the border.

What are the Rules and Regulations for bringing a puppy to Ireland?
Q. We are probably moving to Ireland sometime at the end of 2007. We are going to buy a puppy. We have looked up basset hound breeders in Ireland and can't find any! However there is a breeder about 15 minutes away from our house! We were wondering about quarantine/rules bringing a dog to ireland? Should we get a pup here and go through it? Or should we wait and keep looking for one in Ireland? We have two bring over 2 rabbits as well. P.S: we are not entirely certain it will be a basset but it is a strong possibility!

A. Sounds good - first of all go to the website of Bord Failte Eireann for hostels, B&Bs etc. Might be best if you can hire a car - public transport beyond the main routes (and on some of them) is still not up to main European standards. Things to do? Dublin and Galway are a must, and try to hear Irish traditional music - also, this means you'll be enjoying some fun pub nights. Go to a GAA hurling or Gaelic football match, try a day's sea fishing, get to a race meeting if you can. That's just for starters - any ideas, anyone else?

What is the status of Ireland's third level funding crisis as it relates to the apparent hiring deferment?
Q. Getting news outside of Ireland about this situation is difficult (even with the internet). What is the feel, especially now with the worldwide financial crisis, of the timeframe for when or if the third level/university crisis will be resolved. Any information will be appreciated.
Asked by Tbench - Wed Oct 8 19:30:33 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. There is no crisis in 3rd level funding in Ireland. With the present shortfall in government revenues, there will be cutbacks in spending across all departments. This means that 3rd level institutions will also have to look at day to day spending and avoid waste. This will not be a bad thing, as there is so much waste, and so much need in the world today.

A. You probably won't have much luck with the regular genealogical route b/c by the sounds of things, your aunt is probably still living? Most genealogy records and information, family trees etc - will only give you details for people who are no longer living. It is still worth a try to go on rootsweb or ancestry.com and take a look around - their are lots of search engines that are free, but most of the open indexes include info from the last century. Looking for a living person - you can try various social networking sites, but if they are older (60+) they may or may not be on facebook! Chances are that your aunt may also have married -so you may be looking for someone with a different last name. Googling and rummaging through… [cont.]

What would be Ireland be like if the IRA had won the troubles?
Q. Would Ireland (now united) have began a reign of terror like the French revolution? (in the respect of all loyalists being killed) Would they have started up a single party government that was socialist? Would they live in a cathoilic legal system? Did they want to kill or deport anyone who wasn't loyal to the united ireland cause? Would the Irish people have felt safe if IRA became the government and police force? Would people have a representation if they weren't religious or had another religion other than christianity?

A. 1: If the IRA had won then the entire island would have fallen to them. Good innocent people would have been killed or forced from their home. 2: Honestly I don't think so. The IRA involved in the Troubles were just drug dealing scum. They'd use their influence to push government around through threats. 3: I doubt it. The 'RA heads don't exactly have an interest in religion. If they did then they would know the term 'though shalt not kill' 4: Pretty much. 5: Absolutely not. They are terrorists and are despised by the vast majority of Irish people. 6: Non-religious wouldn't be an issue but those in the 'RA tend to be nasty bigots so any Muslims, Jews etc would be ostracized by them.

A. Okay, here's the real honest answer. Yes, Ireland does indeed have plans to use peat and lignite (which is almost indistinguishable from peat in many cases) as fuel for electric power plants. I know you didn't ask for government reports, but to prove this I have to include them. According to the European technical association of electricity and heat generation, known as the VGB Secretariat, this is true. They report that about 20-25% of the intended new power plant capacity in Ireland as of May, 2006, will be from peat and lignite powered electric generation plants. And, they also report that Ireland is already missing the Kyoto-targets for carbon dioxide by an excess of 22.7%. By 2008 Ireland's target is to only exceed the Kyoto target… [cont.]

Asked by bluroxygurl - Fri Mar 20 10:44:04 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It would mean getting a residency/work permit, and this is very expensive, and you would need a job offer in Ireland in order to be able to do this. Alternatively, you could investigate whether or not your immediate ancestors were born in an EU country, which would mean that you could apply for citizenship of that country, and then you wouldn't need the work permit. EU nationals can live and work in other EU countries. Right now, as a US citizen, you are out of luck, unless you have a specific qualification or skill that's rare and required in Ireland. We are also suffering from the backlash of the economic downturn, so at the moment Irish employers are taking on Irish nationals mainly.
