Ireland 🇮🇪. A beautiful country, that just can't ever seem to find peace. After centuries of struggle with the British for their own independence, Ireland is now richer than their former rulers--but not without some new issues. Prices are extreme, housing supply is low, and as more and more migrants arrive in Ireland, the problems risk turning into a full-blown crisis, as they did last November in Dublin.
But I wanted to see the beauty of Ireland. The real Ireland, the one that speaks Irish Gaelic and greets you at the pub. They made it sound like that Ireland had already disappeared, but I didn't believe it. I wanted to go see for myself.

[@33rdStreet]

Emotions are all on a spectrum: If your feeling awe you cannot experience fear. That’s because fear is the far negative side of the same emotional wavelength. If you feel gratitude, sadness will be off in the distance. Visible but not experiential. But it’s important to remember that, with greater intensity of emotion, they can shift faster in response to stimuli. That’s why stoicism is so valuable, it acts like a safeguard to greater levels of intensity of emotion because of the nature of stoic thought patterns. But the tradeoff is you don’t get higher states of bliss and happiness either. That is why I recommend a shift in worldview to sincerity over seriousness. Even the worst and best things you shouldn’t take seriously, but experience them with the utmost sincerity. Guard your thoughts and be mindful of your self talk.

Hi Tommy, I was delighted and surprised to see that you had a new video in Ireland. I live in Galway and I became obsessed with your videos about 6 months ago. I first came across one of your videos by chance, I believe it was crossing over the border from Uganda to Kenya (I think) and I was instantly addicted to your videos and I came obsessed for the next couple of months. I was getting all my entertainment after work from your videos and adventures and I was telling all my friends and work colleagues about them. I had never been into travel videos before. But your videos were more appealing to me because not only do you describe the countries in detail, you also interact with the locals and don't just go to the touristic areas which for me makes your analysis of places more real and authentic and therefore more entertaining/exciting. I am free for the next 2 days. I don't know if you've been to Galway city yet but I would love to meet you. For a pint, a coffee or for a walk around Galway city. You have become somewhat of a superstar to me over the last few months. I wish you well in all your future adventures and may you continue to travel and be safe ♥️

Every part of the island has so much history associated with it. The monument you saw wasn't to Nova Scotia in Canada. It's a monument to Beaver Island in Michigan where many early Irish immigrants set up a community.

The Craic ! My mums family escaped the famine and ended up in America, her parents were killed when she was eight and a custody battle ensued. The upshot was she was put on a transatlantic steamer under the care of the captain to begin a life in Liverpool with my great aunts who she had never met before. The city then became the object of Luftwaffe bombing and she was evacuated to Wales. After the war she returned to the US to work, but came back to the uk later, met and married my father. She was an only child , one aunt in the states with mh issues and no children. Her liverpool aunts died when I was young having no kids as well...and since my mum had early onset Alzheimers I have an Irish heritage thats been lost to me . Im 65 now , I love the Ireland I visitied a couple of times in my 20s but I wish I knew my Irish family history.

Ireland has many option to track and trace. I use many to track my family too 1832 but it’s a little harder after. GRONI allows searches and the republic has options too. Wee google and start with your mums birth certificate, then her parents marriage certificate and expand out and up this way each time.

[@brendakane1485]

You really should see an expert on ancestry and genealogy. All you need to go back as far as you can, get a name, dob and where they were born. I did that, and was fckn flabbergasted with the info he'd discovered. It's so unbelievable, I don't think anyone would believe it. My own Ma didn't believe it, even with the photocopies I showed her. A big family, same Christian names down through all those generations and are still there. Considering Ireland was still intact and there was only a handful of counties. I got right back to 1815 with my Paternal Granda's G, G, Grandmother. She had 11 children, in a two room 'house', Husband died, 1 son, Matthew had to be isolated from his siblings with a highly contagious disease. All the others survived, and Bridget lived until she was 96. I know it's hard to believe that a 'single Mother' could do all of that throughout all depravation the English bestowed on us. There was enough food in Ireland at that particular time, it was the spud destroyed, everything else was shipped elsewhere by the English. BTW Tommy, Ireland gained it's hard-fought-for Independence in 1922, not 1949.🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪. Enjoy the rest of your travels, and I hope you learned a bit more about where we came from, cause knows where the fuck we'll end up.

My husband was Irish- his family from County Cork- but we never got to make the trip-sadly. Loving the accents…..loving the kindness.

[@Dreyno]

Are you sure his family was from Cork? I’m not saying it’s not possible but McDermott is very much a Connacht name. Especially many years ago before people moved around too much within Ireland. A lot of people, and I’m not saying this is the case in your husband’s family, think their family was from Cork because they sailed from Cork. But Cork was one of the major ports and people from all over Ireland sailed from there. I think it’s much more likely they came from the north west. Roscommon or Leitrim etc.

There's a shit load of empty houses in Ireland. However the government rather give away homes to unvetted foreigners than help their own people get off the streets

[@paulinemulligan]

Were you vetted anytime you migrated to England or America or Europe..cop on

[@martyquirke9808]

@@paulinemulligan Every foreigner is vetted before coming into America. You call it an ESTA or visa. They do a background check on you to see if you have a criminal record. They also take your fingerprints and picture when you arrive. So whereas this guy might be angry about the situation, he is right regarding these new foreigners. Many are not vetted and that's dangerous for any country. If I arrived to any country without documents, I'd be immediately sent back to the last country I flew from. I have no clue what your government is doing but its not what I experienced when I moved here. I'm a foreigner. I arrived to work in Ireland before all the mass influx of foreign people. Got nothing free. What I got was having to queue up outside the immigration office at 4a.m. to "possibly" be seen if I got a ticket. It was a long queue. I had to do this on several occasions. Not only was I vetted, I practically got hauled over the coals for returning to the U.S.A for my mother's funeral and then coming back to work here by some immigration officer at the airport. An Indian nurse I met told me he hadn't seen his newborn baby daughter yet because he was afraid they wouldn't let him back in the country to work. She was 6 months old at the time. Every foreigner was vetted in the past in Ireland. And yeah, you do get vetted in America.
