Hello, everyone. I'm from Germany and I hope to travel to Ireland one day. I especially want to see the small towns, visit the western cliffs and enjoy nature. First of all, I want to drink a Guinness. I know it's everywhere, but when I drink something like that, I want to do it in the country it comes from. hahaha I don't need tropics, turquoise sea and coconut. I hope Ireland is and will be as beautiful as in my dreams.

Loved them days so much I was 14 in 1959 beautiful caring times and its with sadness and honesty I say politely correctness, political bureaucracy, mass migration of criminals and spoiled materialistic post celtic tiger era individuals who forgot humanity and q helping hand to the neighbour and community for greed and materialism, sad really but great to see such beautiful images

[@johnlavery6116]

Simple times back then , people have so much nowadays they didn't have back then. A different Ireland back then, many things have changed for the better but a lot for the worse as well.

[@davidorourke4311]

A change for the worse is definitely too much Facebook

[@davidorourke4311]

Wrote too much instead all Social media due to it of some utility during the three hard lockdowns since the March 2020.

You just would love to go back when you think back it was a lot simpler it was in the seventy you could make and hold on to money when you could have a car without borrowing and also build a house

[@willtres8795]

[@mrheck5311]

Ironic isn't it. Most people can't afford a house these days despite all the basics we need being automated. We entered the EU, were given "free" money to do so and now we end up in a new age of serfdom.

[@seanirwin1303]

Life in the west of Ireland 60 years ago was hard but simple and although I’ve lived in Australia for 35 years Ireland will always be my home
