Ireland vs Northern Ireland - What's the Difference?

Tip for tourists in Dublin - If you want to drink with locals on the weekends, go to Camden street or around the Grafton street area, not Temple bar! :)

Irish people were the nicest and most helpful locals I have met out of all my travels.

As an Irish person I have to say this is the best video I’ve seen explaining the differences. Excellent video. I want to go for a pint with this dude.

We went to the west of Ireland. The country roads are very narrow, often with jagged stone walls off to the passenger side. Big tour busses would come past in the other direction, and we’d literally be squeezing out shoulders together, as if that would make our rental car skinnier! We had no mishaps, but be prepared for narrow, shoulderless roads. We got off the beautiful Wild Atlantic Way on a one track dirt road for awhile around Clifden and got held up a a herd of sheep. We didn’t feel confident about backing up for 3 miles, so we just sat there, enjoying this extremely Irish experience. Ireland is a wonderful country—literally the greenest place I’ve ever been. If you rent a car, you can get to places otherwise unavailable. We got to Corcomroe Abbey for instance. Very cool!

You’ve or anyone has never heard a Northern Irish accent? Liam Neeson is like legendarily limited to only speaking in his native accent. He’s been in some pretty big movies.. just saying

Same thing that ive been saying. I've traveled to many countries and Ireland was the most welcoming, friendliest, helpfful, talkative of all. I really felt soooooo welcome. Loved it so much I'm going back this year.

@woltersworld - Thank you for all these great videos! They've been so helpful in preparing for our first international trip to Ireland.

I briefly had a layover in Dublin and I really liked the city , what I noticed is that the people have a certain wittiness about them friendly but tongue and cheek they reminded me of my family ❤

Another great an respectful video. Both sides of this beautiful island are STUNNING

Enjoyed your video as always. As an Irishman I don't think of us as two different countries even though politically we are. Your video made me think of how confusing it must be for tourists. Regardless, Irish people treat tourists very well no matter which part you are visiting.

Love the info in your videos! Cheers

Excellent commentary, Mark. More than ever I am determined to visit these countries. Thank you.

Your video has really won me over, and I can't wait to see more of Belfast through your vlogs! Keep up the great work, and please bring on the next one soon! ❤

Love your show and info, thank you!!!!

I went to Ireland and Northern Ireland in 2019. We had so much fun! We are going back in August.

I was in Ireland a couple days ago and I love it!!! I visited both sides because i stayed in Dublin, but I did the Game of Thrones tour. I enjoyed every minute in Ireland. So many things to see, so much to do, to eat and to drink. Thank you for always bringing awesome information about amazing places!

Thank you so much for your educational video. I was always uncertain about the two countries until I saw your video.

I went to both a few years ago, Dublin was amazing and i def wanna go again this year or next!

Thanks for this video. Great info.

Ireland (the whole country, both parts) has an amazing variety of accents for a small-medium country. There is no one ‘Northern Ireland accent’, there are many, some easier than others to understand. The nicest Ulster accent IMHO is that of Donegal (which is in the republic 🤔 (Northern Ireland is comprised of six of the nine counties of the province of Ulster, the other three are in the republic)). But all over the island there are accents which are difficult for even other Irish people to understand!
