A fantastic ambassador for Ireland. Thank you Pierce!

[@frostyblade8842]

As an Irish person this really made me smile. Pierce grew up about 35 minutes from where I live, funnily enough, and he always seemed like a cool dude

[@benmadi]

if he spent his first 11 years as a boy in Ireland, it will always be his magical homeland, like Tír Na nÓg :)

I've been all over the world, and my favorite trip was the one I made to Ireland in 2019. Absolutely cannot wait to go back. The people were the most friendly and real of anyplace I have ever been. I will return many, many times!

My long-time dream is to visit Ireland. To write about it and its people (I'm a freelance journalist and author). I've been listening to Irish folk music for years ("Long Journey Home. The Irish in America" is my favourite album of Irish music; "The Foggy Dew", etc.), and was lucky to meet a few awesome writers when they visited us, here in France: Colum McCann, Paul Lynch, Robert McLiam Wilson... such a great moment to talk with each of them! A few years ago, I conducted an interview with novelist Thomas Kelly, a New-Yorker from Irish origin whose book, "Empire Rising", deals with the construction of the Empire State Building in 1930 (this interview was made possible thanks to the invaluable help of his French translator). I've never been to Ireland yet but... I already love it. Greetings from France Jérôme

[@laetitialogan2017]

Also Stephen, if you want to gauge how Dublin / Ireland really is these days. Log into Earthcam Dublin, a street that would normally be stuffed with tourists the whole Temple Bar area, and the city itself would usually be buzzing with people.

What do I miss about Ireland......... (as a child between 1962/66) Living in Navan in a house along the Boyne Road, playing with friends Paudric and Francis around the Ramparts and the old burnt out Mill. Scrumping apples and pears from different orchards like the one at the Nuns Convent and Healeys orchard on the Athlumney Rd. My friend Joe trying to teach me how to hit a ball with a hurling stick. Fishing on the banks of the Boyne and catching loads of eels and selling them to a lady from Athlumney Rd for thrupence. Going to the brothers school ‘De La Salle’ in Navan. Being allowed to go to the local cinema to see Dr Who and the Daleks, but on the day of going-falling into a sewer. Picking strawberries for money along the Athlumney Rd and eating far too many and getting sick. Stepping in the ditch of the railway embankment and stepping on a bag full of jam sandwich’s and full of wasps- stung all over (short trousers in those young days). Days out to Bettys-town, Drogheda, mourne and Wicklow mountains or to the beautiful Glendaloch. Buying sweets at the Mecca (Mr and Mrs Duncan) and the Bon Bon shop in Navan. Going to the fair on the big car park opposite the Catholic Church. Thank you Navan for some lovely memories. Thank you Ireland.
