To the people of Ireland?

I don't think you should have too many problems. There are many Americans of all ages living in Ireland and most of them are able to integrate very well into Irish life. Sharing a similar language is a big bonus anywhere, and there is a strong link between Ireland and the US due to history and emigration etc. How well people are treated tends to depend on how they treat the country they are living in (a universal law, I think), so if you are interested in the country and its people, you will get along fine. Another point is that the country has gone through a lot of changes in the last few years, so it's probably a lot more possible nowadays to integrate without people wanting or needing to know your business. There is a greater tendency for people to keep to themselves.\n\nSounds interesting though - I wish you the best of luck.

i think i speak for all irish people when i say ireland doesnt think american people are brainwashed. we think americans are good people with big hearts. i am actually engaged to an american. i have to be honest though, i do not like your president. i do not know what he does for the american people, but from what i can see, he is sending young men to war for a reason i dont understand. it was good that saddam was taken down from power, but why are your men still there and being killed. bring them home!!!

Yes, Brits, just get out of the country and leave the Irish to rule themselves.\n\nYou had to do it to my country India, and I am sure that you'll have to do it with Ireland too.\n\nst

Interesting (and nauseating) to sift through the illiterate anglophobic rants of the terrorist supporters who've contaminated this perfectly legitimate question with their hateful bile. The truth is that just about the only silver lining to the horrific atrocities committed against innocent civilians on 9/11 was that it did indeed awaken many Americans -- including Irish-Americans who had previously supported the IRA -- to the ugly truth about terrorism. It matters not what your cause is nor how legitimate your grievances, terrorist acts committed against individuals or states, civilian or military, are absolutely unacceptable. While it is doubtless true that there are still die-hard IRA supporters amongst America's Irish-Catholic population, they are very definitely a rapidly shrinking minority. The very fact that the IRA finally renounced terrorism and has moved forward with their own commitment to the Good Friday peace accords is proof of the fact that their support from donor organizations in the States and elsewhere has been evaporating. \n\nIn summation, I am not interested in hearing any further rationalization for the armed struggle (read terrorist activities) of the IRA against the British government and people. I am thankfully not alone in this view. Whatever your cause and however sympathetic it may or may not be, the use of terrorist violence to achieve your aims is condemned almost universally. The horrors of 9/11 directly contributed to that viewpoint and that is the only good thing to come of all that tragic and unnecessary carnage.\n\nAs to the issue of a united Ireland, take it from this American of mixed English, Irish and Scottish heritage, it is inevitable but it will happen through peaceful means only. The IRA has finally figured that out and it's high time the rest of you did, as well. A negotiated peace, an end to terrorist campaigns, the cessation of sectarian violence and a common will to live in peace and harmony will ultimately achieve what a vicious and violent chapter of Anglo-Irish history failed completely to achieve: a united Ireland and lasting peace. \n\nEnd note: Being a student of history who comes from a long line of English, Irish and Scottish Catholics, yet being an American no longer affiliated with any religion whatsoever, I feel well qualified to state my case in an impartial manner. Feel free to disagree if you wish, but peace, understanding and reconciliation will accomplish what hatred, violence and terrorism so abjectly failed to. If we've learned nothing else from 9/11, let us at least agree on this much.

irish people are from gb, uk??? interesting that... anyway... if you're happy supporting them why not? We follow their league teams with no problem at all, so it seems reasonable enough to support the country closest to you geographically. Other people I know however, would definitely say otherwise!!! LOL :)

Leave it ALONE; please.  The Irish Republican Army needs to be assigned to an embarrassing part in the back of a history book.\n\nAmericans have no truck with that unfortunate problem in Ireland and need to quit stirring the pot and donating resources to the rebels.  \n\nToo many people died in Ireland and the UK over these issues.  Mind you own business.\n\nDo you want people from Ireland to come over here and start a rebellion against our government?  No!\n\nWe have enough wars to worry about.  If you want to go to war then  volunteer for Iraq or Afghanistan.

I completely agree, it has been proven in many surveys that the VAST MAJORITY of Republicans do not care.\nOur news reports very little on the North.\nI think it is to do with ireland's wealth because if you are rich then what is the point of dying for independence if everyone was already happy? It would be pointless- you can see that any state that ever fought for independence had its people being treated badly, etc.\nAnd yes, we are not racist or bigoted- both Catholics and Protestants in the North are simply far too bitter for my liking.\nJust leave things they way they are- were happy enough.

Capri is correct in her answer that part of Ireland is still under British rule.\n\nAnd you do know its in violation of the TOS to name out another users name in your question and try to make fun of them right?

I'm English and have many Irish friends/colleagues. I apologise for my fellow English persons bad manners, they were probably jealous that you come from such a beautiful country. Don't let it colour your feelings, you're more than welcome to visit any time you like.
