  1. theres very little people from dublin in dublin lol if that makes sense. I really injoy going down there . I am pretty sure you will like the place two just take plenty of money. it is quite expensive


  2. youll be fine. i live in the south of ireland and travel alot around ireland. dublin is one of the most mixed raced places you could ever find. there wont be any problems. cork might be a bit more reserved as its more rural and a little more cultural but still should be fine. hope you enjoy your hols. the weather probly will let you down but its just like that here.

  3. Ireland has become more mixed in the last few years! i dont think you'll have any problems! i'm from the south west of Ireland and you'll find all types of races and cultures, dont worry about your trip just enjoy!!! :)

  4. Ireland has opened her green doors and welcomed so many different nationalities in the last say 7 years. So, they'll be no problems. The Irish are very friendly and you'll have a great time. It's just a bit on the expensive side, that's all.

  5. You will find a wide spectrum of races living in Dublin today. According to the Central Statistics Office, there were 1,162,831 people living in the greater Dublin area and 19,661 declared themselves of African background (28,776 people did not state their background, so some of these may also be African).

    The muslim religion is the fastest-growing religion in Ireland. The newest mosque in Dublin is in Clonskeagh, Dublin 14, although the original is still on the South Circular Road.

    You will certainly see a lot more Africans in Dublin than in your grandmother's time - then it was confined to a handful who married Irish people and the students attending colleges, notably the College of Surgeons.

    I hope you will receive a warm Irish welcome!

  6. It's pretty mixed, she might get a few glances, but nothing out of the ordinary. Lots of other ethnic groups here now - which means much better food in restaurants! And other benefits ...

  7. ul be perfectly grand. were not that bad at all!

  8. It's hard to spot an Irish person in Dublin these days!! You'll be fine don't worry. Not just Dublin but throughout the country there are loads of different cultures and religions.

    Have a nice trip ! xx :)

  9. I would'nt say it's massively mixed compared to somewhere like london, but i'd say it was more tollerant and educated than ever before. I don't think you'll find it unwelcoming.

  10. It has become very multicultural, especially the cities. It is not that unusual to see people wearing head scarfs. Most people working in shops aren't Irish.
