Northern Ireland in general

My homeland. We get a lot of bad press still about the "troubles" and as someone who has lived here all my life will say, its all media hype. Northern Ireland is a wonderful place to live or visit and hopefully my review will get you over here. The People. We are all welcoming and always up for a bit of "banter or craic" with you.

Historically and politically well known, for the majority of those living in Northern Ireland, politics and history have never played a major part to this great place.
