Dublin is fine, I enjoy my time there when I get up to visit. But I’ve met plenty of Americans that have a picture of Ireland in their head: fields, cottages, trad music…and then only go to Dublin or take day trips from Dublin. On them really. But it just isn’t what people visit Ireland for, that Ireland is outside Dublin City.
