Dublin is not representative of Ireland! maybe go to cork, go to some countryside spots, redbooks in wexford is amazing, a Wicklow mountain? If you’re really stuck in Dublin then uhh go to the lighthouse or ifi for a good movie!
I just spent 2 weeks in Ireland over christmas/new year's and most of it was at my family's home in Dingle. it's a magical place where many people still speak irish, and everywhere else we visited, people would say how jealous they were that we were visiting Dingle. it's a pretty small downtown area but I saw several pubs offering accommodation, everyone is so welcoming. specific recs include dick mack's pub, the fish box, and murphy's for ice cream.
ty to my father for the dark hair genes hence thick eyelashes! and life is way more fun with some color on your cheeks plus i don't actually know what i am doing when i put my makeup on every time is an adventure
