Getting Around
If you want to get out of the main cities and into the countryside, renting your own transportation is the best option. Rural public transport is generally slow, expensive and runs on a very sporadic timetable.
By car, you’ll see far more of the gorgeous countryside and discover some real hidden gems. Don’t worry about getting lost, just pull over and ask the next person you see for directions.
The average Irish town currently has over 12,000 roundabouts and 43,000 traffic lights, with that number was expected to double by 2016.
Ireland has changed fast, and the 2015 legalisation of same-sex marriage by popular vote plus ground-breaking gender recognition laws mean Dublin is now one of the most inclusive destinations on the map.
It's easy to see why; intolerance is hard to keep up with a small, friendly population where almost everyone knows someone in the LGBT community.

I'll buy a round
Don’t feel pressured to enter into the ‘rounds system’, where everyone buys the group a drink in turn – you'll also find that a large group is sometimes best split into two or more separate rounds, making things more manageable.
However, if someone does buy you drink, ensure you get them one back. You can always refuse a drink but if it’s your turn, you have to go to the bar. Failure to do so will result in you being talked about after you leave –and not in pleasant terms.
