Answer 3

Like any other country its has its lows and its highs. I think there are some really beautiful places especially the little towns and castles.

Answer 4

The sad answer....is yes.  I say sad....because even if you spent four weeks there...you would barely cover 40 percent of the country.  What you see in the Quiet Man is still there today.

The best part from what I've seen is the southwest.  You must rent a car with your travels, and go to the Ring of Fire....which is a twisty road along the coast and it melts your heart away.  Stay only at the bed and breakfast operations....cheaper and you tend to meet more locals that way.  Don't expect the best food in the world....just a hearty meal.  

The only negative I found....was sitting in the pub and hearing all of the woes and sorrows.  After 90 minutes....I really had enough about the negative side of life.  They will tell you every single detail and invite you totally in their life whilst you both consume a hearty ale.  To me....it was information overload and just too many woes. You may find it socialable.
