Expertise

I am one of two Ireland Expert's on this site resident in the country and and a citizen of Ireland. I have travelled all over Ireland and I have been in every county at least once and have seen a lot of what happens in this country. A lifelong resident of Dublin, I know the city very very well and have seen all sorts of interesting nuggets and corners; wee shops in funny places and pubs that have the best beer and food. I also write table and pub quizzes so I know a little bit about everything, so to speak, including some of the quirky stuff! If it's about Dublin, I'll be hard pressed not to know something about it; the pubs, sights, history, stories and more so try your luck on me!

Experience in the area

I have been working as a taxi driver for several years so I know every nook and cranny of Dublin. As somebody who studied media, I am also interested in transport and current affairs and am passionate about Ireland, Irish affairs and Irish life. I've traveled the country over the years and have seen many of Ireland wonderful sites and sights, some well known; others less so! I've also done some tour guide work taking people around the country so I'm well travelled and well sussed as to what's where.

Education/Credentials

I have an Irish Leaving Certificate; I also undertook the first year of a H Dip in Radio with Journalism, so it goes without saying that my communication skills are up there.
While I lack latin certs on my wall, life experience has left me with a lot of common sense experience that no institution can teach you.

What do you like about this subject?

I'm a native of the country and am proud and passionate about Ireland. I consider it an honour to help people come to and learn about my Nation. I like exposing people to Ireland, it's people, it's sites, culture, heritage, sights and sounds. In short, I want to help you.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

90% of the computers people use to send questions on Allexperts.com have a significant part or programme supplied or made in Ireland. The White House was designed by an Irishman and is based on several famous Irish buildings. You have to come here to find out which ones, though!!!
