A little bit of local knowledge goes a long way – and with this in mind, we at IrishCentral have prepared a brief guide to vacationing in Ireland.
Although remember – if you really want to fit in with the locals, you might want to avoid expressions like “vacationing” – use “going on holiday” instead.
You might also want to include the expression, “Where are yar’ lucky charms?” in as many conversations as possible – the Irish will surely love you for that. (Note the sarcasm here…)

Almost 60 years after filming the most famous Irish movie of all time there, Maureen O’Hara returned in style to Cong, location of “The Quiet Man,” on Friday.
The 91-year-old actress was guest of honor at the first ‘Quiet Man’ festival and she thrilled the crowds who waited hours for her arrival.
Locals clamored for pictures and autographs with the queen of the silver screen who seemed as feisty as she was when she starred opposite John Wayne in the famous film.
She told the crowd that, of all the 80 films she made, “The Quiet Man” was her best because her favorite leading man John Wayne and film director John Ford were working with her.
