Content: Irish is much more common in the Gaeltacht regions along the western seaboard, including the counties Donegal, Mayo, Galway and Kerry. Even in predominantly English-speaking areas, be prepared to hear some unfamiliar terminology. A car's trunk is the "boot"; its hood is the "bonnet"; and the gas in the tank is called "petrol." " Bangers" are sausage; " rashers" are bacon, and so on. Know How to Get Around
As in the United Kingdom, cars in Ireland drive on the left site of the road, which can take some getting used to. Speeds and distances in the Republic of Ireland are measured in kilometers per hour, while miles per hour is the term used in Northern Ireland. Seat belts are required for passengers in both the front and the back of a vehicle, and a valid national driving license or an international driving permit is required if you plan to drive.
