Well done, Kristin, for a great selection of interviews. I was raised in Dublin for the first nine years of my life, then my family moved to London which is fifty years ago now. We never let go the strings that bound us to Ireland, but the trips home have not been as often as they once were. Believe it or not, when we left Ireland the population of Dublin was just something like 250,000, so that's a six fold increase over time, and yet, the city hasn't lost its intimacy and its friendliness. I'll look for your Belfast video now!

I just returned March 2023. I'll get hammered for this, but there is something the people who are clamoring for diversity don't realize concerning Ireland. The one thing that gets repeated is how friendly the Irish are. Tourism is one of, if not the biggest portions of the Irish economy. It employs nearly a quarter million people. One reason as it has been mentioned repeatedly in this video for the continued success of that tourism trade is the Irish people themselves. The more the government allows the 'barbarians at the gates" to enter, the faster the decline of Irish culture will occur because a priority is being place on "diversity" and NOT preservation of the Irish people or their way of life. One big sector of the Irish tourism trade is the "pub culture". What makes the pub culture unique is, and I'll say it again, the Irish people themselves and NOT foreigners behind the bar or waiting tables, no matter how friendly they might be. Thanks to government only doing the bidding of the EU and the NWO, Dublin will continue to go the way of London, Berlin, Paris, and Stockholm.

[@oliverqueen5883]

Sadly true. I’m Dublin born and bred but my parents are legal, law-abiding immigrants (my dad naturalised as Irish well over a decade ago now). Back when I was younger, all of us, no matter ethnicity, religion, etc. used to be Irish together, play GAA, football/soccer, cricket, tennis etc. all the same and there were very few issues. My mam is French and now I’m terrified (I’m not even white) to walk down the road in plain daylight in certain parts of *Paris City proper* due to the horrible way immigration has been managed. I’ve lived in England for 10 years and the same applies to South London, half of Birmingham, etc. Dublin isn’t what it used to be, and it’s getting farther and farther from it

I’m from Scotland and have been to Dublin, mostly to watch the rugby, many times. Great people very friendly. The last time I was there, I noticed it had changed, more expensive, it kind of got quieter, for some reason, probably commercialisation. I have great memories of the people and the bars. I’ve been out drinking with everyone from coppers to nuns, the craic was brilliant 👍

Underground or overground rail system. ( Stephen’s Green (luas) and the Phoenix Park (traffic barriers) destroyed by our Council and politicians) Irish people’s needs not looked after by our politicians as they concentrate on illegal no passports ‘migrants’ whom they have invited into Ireland assisted by corrupt NGOs.

Dublin is such a fabulous city! The pubs are excellent, with notable places like The Brazen Head (oldest pub in Dublin), Temple Bar is more touristy, and I enjoyed The Oliver St John Gogarty. Music excellent. Of course the Guiness Factory, which is good to see but a bit over-priced. Kilmainham Gaol worth checking out, as seen in films like In the Name of the Father. Trinity College with The Book of Kells (amazing library there). Good to hear what the locals think about what is happening in their city. Enjoy it! Pass at Newgrange is an interesting site just a short drive north from Dublin. For you in Belfast, take a black cab tour there with an explanation of the history and The Troubles. The Titanic Museum worth checking out.

[@janewatson5388]

The couple in Clontarf saying they love the diversity while living in one of the most exclusive and less diverse areas in Dublin is quite typical of some of the uppity champagne socialist types in Dublin, try ask people who's areas are being flooded with immigrants from Albania , Georgia or Somalia, us Irish always embrace immigrants that come here for the right reasons like working hard and making a contribution unlike the tens of thousands of men who arrive here with the promise of free stuff and have no intention of working , also crime is on the increase and the media and Garda are trying to cover it up or at least not reporting on the ethnicity of the criminals .
