Regardless of which country you're in, it sounds like there's something wrong with your car.

Thanks for posting, it's actually quite fascinating.. I didn't actually realise I had crossed into the republic until I saw the Speed signs.. great video

Can you imagine doing this if the Republic of Ireland decided to compliment their adoption of kilometres with driving on the right most other EU countries.

A really interesting film and explanation of road changes. Hoping to visit Northern Ireland and the ROI for the first time from the UK.

However there is a sign saying your in scotland when go past the england-scotland border, yet they are both part og the UK!

I've always thought that Ireland used different signs, such as the yellow stripes, the North American yellow diamond signs, and the American traffic signal sequence, mainly to remind British tourists that they were in a foreign country.

Plenty of people here call it the Republic of Ireland. It's not the official name of the state, but it is widely used. It's even in law as the official *description* of the state. TRiG.

No, it is not. Look at an Irish passport, or postage stamp. The term is used for football purposes.

Why there's no Country road sign at the boarder? In mainland Europe each border crossing (even between Schengen Countries) in marked by a road sign stating the name of the Country and all speed limits.

When you cross the border into Eire, do businesses in those border regions accept UK currency or is it strictly Euro ?
@dcog28826 жыл бұрын
Dee Raz why would they accept a foreign currency ??
@JohnMitch6 жыл бұрын
I have to disagree with you on that point, most places will offer an exchange rate close to the bank rate, at least all the business I deal with like Nisa Village shop, Petrol Stations, off licenses

All pubs, chippie, corner shops etc seem to take Sterling or Euros either side of border. Years ago I had no aggro using punts in a loyalist type pub in Fermanagh...barman was actually quite nice as well.

No, it is not. The ignorance displayed here is dismaying. As many have pointed out above, the Constitution says the name of the State is Eire, or in the English language, Ireland. Republic of Ireland was a name invented 60/70 years ago by UEFA to differentiate between the football teams North and South - look it up. And if you have an Irish passport, look at the name on it - Eire. You won't see "Republic of Ireland" anywhere. Even simpler - look at a postage stamp. It says Eire. Do you think the Government of the country does not know it's correct name?

Will any of the border roads be blocked and/or checkpoints go up when the brexit kicks in?
@flitsertheo6 жыл бұрын
There are an estimated 275 crossings between Eire and NI. If Brexit results in a closed border they will have to reduce this number to keep it manageable. That means minor passages being blocked for all or prohibited for some trafic (goods, ...). It also means checkpoints as there used to be before the GFA and the opening of the EU borders in 1993. You can't keep the back door (Eire-NI) open while the front door (UK harbours and airports) is closed. Though as this video shows it's not going to be easy to disentangle both road systems.

i might be wrong but i think the point he was going for is how interlinked the roads between N. Ireland and the republic are.

There is no "Republic of Ireland". The official name of the sovereign state is Ireland.

The official name of the sovereign state is "Ireland". No-one in Europe or America calls it Republic of Ireland, except for the soccer team. It's only the UK government who refused to call the state "Ireland" - until after the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. They now, as is the international norm, call the 26 county state "Ireland" in all formal references.

+eddie422 you are correct and im a unionist saying this but the name of the state in bunreacht na eireann is Ireland or Eire, meaning the 26 counties governed from Dublin, just like the official name of the UK is not just the "UK" but the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland "
