Ireland is a perfect example of why political boundaries are often completely arbitrary. It's a shame such a beautiful country with magnificent people has suffered a difficult past.
The photos are great! It really does make me want to visit. I love Guinness and would love to have the opportunity to get a 'proper' one.
Ireland's border has become a massive issue after Brexit. After Ireland became independent and the subsequent conflicts leading to lots of lives lost, it was agreed not to have a border between Ireland and Northern Ireland, but now this has caused problems again post Brexit. Tricky situation.
