The population of Ireland, I mean the republic, has risen very fast since the 90's when it was still about 3.5m and now it is close to 5m so no surprise there is a housing-crisis.

It has increased but still below over 6 million back in the 1800’s before the awful potato famine. Since the 90s when it became richer through the Celtic Tiger period more Irish born people return to the island and so did many immigrants from Europe, the US and beyond. There is certainly plenty of space to build housing in Ireland more than in Britain.

An interesting thing about the pronunciation of “H” in Ireland: during The Troubles in Northern Ireland from to 60s to the 90s, how you pronounced “H” was actually very contentious, as generally, Catholics were taught to pronounce it as “haitch”, whereas Protestants were taught to pronounce it as “aitch”. How people pronounced it often was how they were identified by the opposing side, and so people had to be very careful how they said it depending who they were talking to in the risk of a sectarian attack.

@@ClaireHawkins Where slang in most countries is dependent on area/locations.. in Ireland that is the case to.. but the same accounts for Dublin.. those in the west of the city (home grown irish speaking slang) can hardly understand those from the east of the city. Having lived here 17 years, (with the initial thought of only staying here for 1 year before moving over to the US) I can honestly say, Irish people are the nicest warmest and kindest people on the planet (IMO) hence I kinda got stuck here :) Dublin has seen incredible development over the past 20 or so years and has become one of the top 5 international cities of Europe.

I was actually trained as a bartender and found that that was suddenly worthless in everybodys eyes. Working in a bar was suddenly harder than winning ”Idol”. I also found it to be more hierarchical than the freemasons. You could be fired on a seconds notice for any reason. Ofcourse this was in the late 90’s and things might have changed a lot.

I'm going to college in Ireland. First of all, I'm moving there because I love Ireland and I wanna live there. My mother wants to come with me, and my sister will be living in England. I'm gonna get a scholarship somewhere close to a small town that shouldn't be so expensive for me and my mom. Of course, I'm going to live with my mother until I earn enough to pay my own bills in a decent house, close to my mother's home, and my mother will most likely help me if I have major financial issues. I absolutely don't mind rainy days, and I hate extremely hot summers like the ones they have in Buenos Aires D: Driving? Yeah, I'm definitely gonna drive at a young age and get my licence in Ireland. Also, when I live in Ireland, I'm gonna be travelling around all the time, because I think it's an extremely beautiful place. I also like to meet new people and it's a bonus if they're Irish so :D It would also be new to me that everything closes early, but I might get used to it. Don't mention slang!!! It's my scariest nightmare to walk up to an Irish person and don't understand a f*ck they're saying :(

Very interesting! I'm old enough to be your father, but when I was basically your age (in the pre-internet, pre-Starbucks era), I lived in Cork City for about a year and suburban Dublin (Knocklyon) for a few months. So I was there almost as long as you've been there. And like you, I had grandparents from Ireland (not Cork or Dublin, though). During my first week in Cork, I had this weird feeling of familiarity - as though a place very much like Cork was my home and I had simply been away for awhile (my entire life to that point). However, I found it REALLY strange that I did not get a similar feeling at all from Dublin. Did you settle in quickly there? Did anything seem to fit like an old shoe, so to speak? Anything spookily familiar?

Dublin might as well have been Berlin as far as I knew or cared. My grandparent came from Roscommon (2), Galway (1) and Westmeath (1). Who knows about Cork nowadays, though? I'm sure it is quite different from what I remember. And a good friend in Phoenix who live most of his life in Tipperary tells me that each time he returns 'home," he finds it is less and less the same; nothing is as it was. So Cork might not be very familiar to me anymore, if I could ever make it back. Everything changes, I guess.

100% Irish BY ANCESTRY. That last part is important. I just got back from Ireland in June. It was GLORIOUS. I do have some trouble with the language. My first trip, I was hitch hiking, (1978 it was very acceptable). A man stopped and said there is no room in the car for your rucksack, will it fit in the BOOT. I looked at my foot and said, Let's try. Thats how I found out he meant the trunk. Averted embarrassment. I also met a guy who was a "cabender", a what? He repeated: "A Cabender". I still had no idea, so I asked what he did. "I build thing", now sounding a little irate. Then he really acted as if I was stupid when I asked, "Out of what?" He went off the wall when he said "WOOD!!" So I found out he was a CARPENTER. It was a fantastic voyage and I hope I can do it again. The second trip was so much better than the first. I did have difficulty coming down from Ross Castle, because of the stairs and my fear of heights. Bun Ratty was much better as I didn't go up the narrow stairs. Cork City was the best overall city I have visited. Killarney was also very nice. I wish I had spent more time in Dingle. I need to go back so I can visit Skellig Michael, and see the Puffins firsthand. You need to visit the National Leprechaun Museum. You can get some nice source material, if you write your own music.

Hey, nice video! I've been thinking about moving to Ireland, but the language barrier is one of my biggest fear. I'm not a native speaker but my accent is clearly american oriented, due to the exposure and influence of the media. I met a guy in Prague from Dublin a few months ago and I was just pretending that I could understand him, but to be honest It was just gibberish to me. On the other hand one, a friend of mine is from Wicklow and his pronunciation is pretty clear (aside from rare cases where I misunderstand him). I'd love your opinion, do you think is it really a big deal and I should think twice before moving there? or also consider moving to another town like Cork, where apparently their accent is not as strong?

In my experience Cork accents are *much* harder to understand than Dublin accents! Dubliners tend to have a slightly more neutral accent than many other parts of the country. That said, there are actually different accents within Dublin, depending if you're on the North Side or South Side. It can be tricky, but I'm sure you'll get used to it! Plus, they're all great accents to listen to!

Nice video except for one point. Irish or Gaeilge IS pronounced exactly as it’s written. It’s just not pronounced using English phonetics, just like how French, German, and basically any other languages aren’t pronounced using English language rules or phonetics. Sorry if this seems a bit pedantic but as someone who speaks Irish, it’s annoying when someone foreign asks me why my name (it’s not Frank) isn’t pronounced as it would be if it was English, or why Sáoirse ‘looks funny’. Why is Italian not pronounced like English?

The provision of services, all night entertainment, etc. depends on demand. NY has a population of about 9 million, all in a relatively small area, Ireland has 5 million, spread out over a relatively big area. The greater Dublin area has about 1.8 million. That needs to be considered when making comparisons. The road, rail and public transport networks are Dublin centric but that's changing, at last. However, it is possible to get from Killarney to Kilkenny without going to Dublin but it's easier and requires only one change of bus, where as the other options require two or more. It's probably faster too. Demand for a direct route doesn't exist. "The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain," is a line from My Fair Lady, in Ireland that would read "The rain in Ireland mainly stays."

I have spent about 10 days in my life in Ireland, and I was surprised that I knew a lot of things you mentioned. I visited my sister who studied in Dublin, and she already lived in a 2 bedroom apartment with 5 people (her plus 4) and they still made room for two guests. As a German living in France, I wish our summers were a bit milder because it is NOT fun walking with a mask in 37°C and a nice sunny but windy Irish summer day sounds definitely more pleasing. My challenge for 2021 is to actually learn Irish, and as I loved the first 5 lessons, I decided to sign up for an A1 exam in summer.

You plan on moving to Ireland you better have proper papers and if you try to get a job - you need your visa and/or a PPS card - without this you will not be hired - not even in a coffee shop! Hostels are fairly cheap - approx. 12 to 20 Euros a night (except weekends - they go up to 75) Generator - I feel is the best of all for location - most are priced the same - you get discounts if you book longer stays than 2/3 days. Don't be so braggy - like telling everyone in Ireland that you are from New York a hundred times - in their minds, they are thinking - who cares - shut up already as they smile Irish in general are not a big talker and some may tell you - you have so many stories - in another word - stop talking - do you like to hear yourself talk! Depending on where you live in Dublin - you will experience different weather - different people and be warry of the Gypsies and the Irish travelers - they are well taken care of in Ireland - have housing and food and maybe more - the money you give them only goes back home (again they are in Ireland to get free housing and food) Do not give them food when they say they are hungry (they will throw it in the trash ) they only want your many as food is free in the housing that is provided for them! Good luck finding many Irish around as they are settled in - working - or keeping to themselves elsewhere! If you going there to live - get a job secured before getting there - it will not be easy - as all the others that think - I'm going to get a place - a job and life will be smooth sailing - btw you cannot get apt if you do not have a job - unless you share with so many other and you do not need to be on a lease! This video did not even tough on Dublin as she was to busy talking about herself and continuously mentioning New York! pretentious behavior!

I remember, when I was living there years ago, how I sent my friends into fits of laughter after trying to pronounce Dun Laoghaire or Drogheda for the first time. My parents lived in Nenagh at the time, and that was another one that did not quite sound like it looks.

I'm learning Irish while in America, hoping to one day at least visit Galway, and I can agree, if you ONLY speak English, words in Irish are rarely pronounced how they look. However thankfully, the Irish language is theoretically spelled phonetically. So once you get the hang of the phonemes of the language, such as the dipthongs, then lenition and eclipses, even if you don't know what the word means, you can get fairly close to the pronunciation of the word. :D

Yes. Ireland is wonderful. New York is lovely too. Dad born in NYC. That being said, My Irish grandparents fled NYC ( Ludlow & Houston streets) for Central Illinois, one significant reason? NYC is NOT reflective of America, in fact, I often think of it as an Outland, separate from the culture of America ( I know this is hard to swallow) , and aloof and sorry, debased. I love Ireland cause' in 15 or so minutes, you've made a new friend practically anywhere you go. Best advice: When in Eire ( or the North of Ireland) relax and chill. The NY Minute doesn't fly here, and you' LL be better and happier for it! Slan, and all the Best.

The travel between Ireland and NI is the same for Ireland and the UK. There's been a Common Travel Area between UK and Ireland since the 1920s. Irish people who move to the UK can also vote in UK elections etc. the same as UK and Commonwealth citizens.
