Oh holy God.

Every second post on Irish Reddit seems to be someone having a moan about something.

Housing, rent, traffic, prices, the government, public transport, the weather, some gobshite parking outside your house… whatever it is, someone’s pissed off about it.

So I thought, fuck it why don’t we just have a subreddit dedicated to moaning?

That’s what r/MoanIreland is for.

Got a rant? A complaint? Something small and ridiculously petty that’s been annoying you all day? Stick it up.

It’s brand new, so come join, post a moan and help get the place going.

No positivity. No pretending everything is grand. Just a good aul Irish moan.

Margaret Anna Cusack , the Nun of Kenmare , ran off with the donations to build a shrine at Knock. Nuns are evil. "One foot in the grave and the other on the edge" Peig Sayers is uniquely creepy and lived on an isolated island which arch villains love .

My top pick is Twink "Zip up your mickey Mr Bond" is a scene that writes itself.

Got a puncture driving through youghal in Cork. The mechanic at Trackside Autos. Mechanic rocked up to the car and fixed it without removing the wheel then swaggered away as if to say "if there was a Mechanics of Tralee competition , Id enter and win"

A legitimate lege.

Hey, don’t know if this is the right subreddit but it’s worth a shot!

Hi everyone — I’m building QuizPerCard, an AI-powered study tool for Leaving Cert students

Hey everyone 👋

I’m Tushar, and I’m currently building QuizPerCard, a study platform designed to help students prepare for exams through short quizzes, MCQs, and flashcards.

The idea came from a simple problem: students have plenty of study material, but it can be difficult to turn that material into something they can actually practise with regularly.

Right now, QuizPerCard is focused on Leaving Cert Applied Maths. We’re still early, but we’re actively working towards adding more subjects, including:

• 📐 Applied Maths — currently available
• ⚡ Physics — coming
• 🧪 Chemistry — coming
• 🧬 Biology — coming

We’re also planning features to make exam preparation more realistic and confidence-building, including:

• 📝 Mock tests
• 📄 Practice/demo exam papers
• 🎯 Topic-based practice
• 📊 Progress tracking
• 🃏 Flashcards for quick revision
• 🤖 AI-assisted learning content

The goal isn't just to give students more questions. We want to help them identify their weak areas, practise consistently, and build confidence before the actual exam.

We're still at an early stage and don't have a large customer base yet, so I'm particularly interested in hearing from Leaving Cert students, parents and teachers.

If you're preparing for the Leaving Cert:

What would make you feel more confident going into your exams?

I'd genuinely appreciate honest feedback, including criticism. We're building this step by step based on what students actually need.

Thanks! 🙌

Just so proud to be Irish. Showered and shaved going out for pints. Meet man on entering bar. Cà bhuil an gabhar a rosta he says. Didn't know him and never heard it before. Had to enquiry. Explained , where's the goat being roasted, cause I am normally in working cloths during week. How inoffensive, polite and complimentary a statement could a person get. Says it all being Irish.

recycled plastic bottle .

I didn't read the small print.

Just got the all clear from cancer.

But the doctors said If I dont stay away from people smoking or vaping even air pollution. The cancer will come back with a vengeance. How do I deal with that, is it possible to live without the effects of people smoking around me.

I am asking this because the r/Ireland and r/AskIreland subreddit have entirely different opinions on any questions as in the cases of city crimes, housing crisis and anti social behaviour towards skilled immigrants (POCs) as r/AskIreland generally has positive responses while r/Ireland generally have negative responses to a point where a person going through both feels confused as whom to believe in (I'm asking this only to know about the views of Irish people in these topics and why is there such a vast difference in opinions) ?

Edit : I was mainly trying to understand who to trust more: the news and social media, or the experiences of people who actually live in Ireland. I'm also curious about what Irish people are generally like in terms of their social behaviour, especially in cities and towards skilled immigrants. I'm considering moving to the EU, and Ireland stands out because it's English-speaking and offers the advantages of the Common Travel Area (CTA). However, reports about violent crime and the severe housing crisis have made me think twice. I also don't want to contribute to existing pressures or create difficulties for local people simply by moving there. I'd appreciate hearing honest perspectives from those who know about such issues in Ireland.

Are there any channels on YouTube that actually discuss the issues around imagration? I'm aware a lot of them are shadow banned so I just looking for real people.

There's lots of sliced pans there already . I have a bread knife and a bread board at home .

That's the irish government for ya

Usually they'd be trying to take over the Forty Foot or Dalkey but this heatwave not a geeks out of them.

Is it possible to ask about the manners or etiquette used when passing on (perhaps narrow) footpaths?
Without sounding old fashioned, wasn’t there a raft of unwritten rules for who steps off the path, in the event of meeting at a right spot? I’m so embarrassed when a woman, or especially an older lady steps out before me. Now there’s loads of narrow places in Athlone, so it occurs too often. I always assumed that men and lads are the first, keep children on the inside, etc. But of course, it would really compound the issue should I try to speak to someone, I’d probably make the entire situation far, far, more awkward….

Did anyone else not realise they were Irish until they were 40 odd?

Had set up a veritable feast for himself on one of the tables. Fruit juice, a takeaway rotisserie chicken, wedges, bread , coffee and a pastry.

I must admit I've often been tempted to do something similar but was a bit too irish and reserved to . Now the idea is stuck in my mind on what type of takeaway delights I can indulge in while the duvet is having a spa day.

Irish people seem reserved to talk to and quite cold.

I’ve been living in Ireland and I’ve noticed that people can very often seem reserved when you meet them, especially in places like gyms, pools, or other public places.Today for e.g. the 2nd part of pool was empty with 2 people chatting together when I swam nearby them they went out of pool immediately.This made me feel uncomfortable.People seem afraid of strangers here.Despite coldness the rest of Irish people are generally polite but distant. I find it difficult to move from a simple hello or small talk into an actual friendship.Also why on bus stops while waiting for bus Irish people are hard to talk to and when I ask them some random question their guard goes up.With other nations I am finding it easier.I even went to school here but no friendship even though I tried being open. I am here for 9 years I haven't made single Irish friend.While with few people from Africa and India its much easier to warm up to and be casual friends.I’m wondering if this is just the culture here, or if Irish people are cautious of foreigners?
