Ireland 🇮🇪 is bleeped . Best of luck mate

As an indigenous irishman i am glad you got your lads passport..

I have considered getting my Irish Passport through Ancestry. My great-grandparents on one side are from there. I have always liked Irish people, culture etc. and from what I understand its a pretty good nation in Europe in terms of COL, politicis, work etc. Canada is crazy right now and I do not see it getting any better. I want a better future for my children and I have a really hard time seeing that here in Canada. What fo Irish people think?

Lost me after not using cash and jwalking, whatever that is. Cash is king.

I drink Guinness. Something has definitely changed in the UK since the late 70s Early 80s. The drink used to be much smoother back then a dream of a pint. Now when you go into a pub it just doesn't taste like it used to. Sometimes you may get a pint which is good or acceptable as I would call it. But in a lot of cases you either get a flat watery drink or sometimes even a sour vinegar taste. Unfortunately in the UK there seems to be no pride in what is served and the general attitude is if you don't like it go somewhere else. This attitude does not stop with beer it seems to have invaded every aspect of the service industry in the UK.

Good video man! Most people don't realize this, but drivers in Canada CAN turn left at a light in one circumstance - you can turn left from a ONE-WAY street as long as you're turning onto another ONE-WAY street! It's in the driver's handbook and it's the ONLY exception to the rule! IT'S A FACT. 👍👍

Dude. You aren't comparing Ireland to Canada, but only to VANCOUVER... That is MAJOR misleading and click-baiting. Anyway, parts of Canada were founded in the early 1600s. In my city (Quebec City) there are buildings from that era, and it's not the only place. Also, BC is DEFINITELY not representative of Canada as a whole, it has its own very unique subculture and population makeup and its own triple-pricing everything lunacy.... You REALLY ought to change that thumbnail title... SOME people might get the wrong impression about my country.

They got you to no be tracled online by yiu using online pasport they fooled you

I love the way you delivered the video! You're so funny and you actually made me laugh! 😄 Love it 👌👏

Did you not leave your apartment in Vancouver? Its one of the most walkable cities in the world. Its full of parks, downtown is Stanley park with the longest natural seawall trail in the world. Go less than an hour outside of Vancouver, its total wilderness, beautiful.

Keep cash alive...that's a positive about Ireland for sure

In downtown Calgary you can actually find some of the original buildings that started Calgary

The Irish Passport is phenomenal you have to be out of your mind to get a Canadian Passport. You might as well go to a prison and tell them to arrest you before you commit a crime

I wouldn't mind learning jiu jitsu. Too bad I'm Jewish so I'm not welcome there.

Sorry, but I'm not convinced. I live in Scotland and most (if not all) of your 5 reasons also apply here. We love Guinness here, too, and there are many bars that are dedicated to Guinness. I can't imagine it being better in Ireland, as it's already perfect, when they get it right here, as they do regularly. I'm surprised one of your reasons wasn't "the craic", as I believe the reasons usually given on this are mainly to encourage tourism in Dublin. By the way, in Scotland, we are world famous for our hospitality, so we do have our own "craic"... with a Scottish accent. 🙏 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Going through this myself. 2 years 8 months for FBR. Going on 4 months for passport issuance. Snail mail back and forth and new unwritten rules causing me months upon months of delays.

Excellent video. It reflects my experience with Irish bureaucracy. (Irish, emigrated to Canada, children born in Ireland, grand kids born in Canada - everyone has both Canadian and Irish passports.) Barry's tea? I have Lyons here. Never mind the kettle - buy a Panda water heater for serious tea drinking. All the best ;>)

Good video but ridiculous comment to say there's more space I Ireland..buy a car and get out into the countryside mate!!

Ffs all you had to do was send them the video with your kitchen full of Barry's tea and you would have got your passport within a day😂

Applied for my partner’s passport renewal (online, on my phone) on Monday afternoon… got the passport through the post on Wednesday morning.

The reason for all the hoops to jump though is brexit, too many brits looking to get an Irish passport, so there is a knock on for everyone, so blame the uneducated ignorant brits.

Although I really like your video, I'm afraid you missed the mark completely. Your comparison in living in Canada to living in Ireland is way, way off, You need to visit the east coast of Canada mate, you'll have a completely different experience , especially, come on down home to Newfoundland and see watcha thinks of 'er ........

God Bless Guinness.

You look a whole lot better than Matthew.

As a Canadian that's been all over this country I have to say Vancouver is one of my least favourite Canadian cities and it always surprises people. Victoria on Vancouver island on the other hand is gorgeous and one of my top Canadian cities to visit. I live in Toronto and feel we have more green space and a nice beach front compared to Vancity, plus a lot more to do. Vancouver is very expensive, has crazy levels of crime and addiction and always seems dirty, dull and dangerous. My favourite cities are Victoria, Montreal, Toronto, Quebec City, St. John's NL and Saskatoon as a prairie city. Like most Canadian places, all are best to visit in summer or fall.

Irish jig yeah lol love it

Just came back from a week in Ireland. Yes it tastes better there. We enjoyed our visit.

Am living in Belgium still deciding if l should move to Canada or Ireland my plan is to work as a nurse

Why housing is so bloody expensive in Ireland? I currently live in Norway and housing is way cheaper than in Ireland, mind you Norway is a very expensive country.

Absolutely not

It's a dump really. Good craic in the pubs but that's about it really.

You’re lucky having the Irish Passport it’s an escape ticket because you never know when Trudeau destroys the True North Strong and not so free!

Well you’ve obviously never lived in the United States because it’s a slow process for everything. And being able to get a credit card whenever you want when you look at how many people are in debt and Canada and the US it’s probably a good thing

Drinking culture in Canada is not as big. Drinking culture in Ireland is awesome. More bars less questions. And people talk more in Ireland. Canada most people keep to themselves. I would not recommend Canada but everybody has a different opinion.

I know that americans always say that they were surprised by how they were treated when they were crossing into Canada.The items that they will say is a dangerous weapon varies from a flashlights to a pen and seem ridiculous.

Same thing for my son, started in October of 2019, covid hits, foreign births are no longer registered until 2022, finally getting the passport this October. To be fair, my renewal took minutes and got my Irish passport in a week, Canadian passport is going to take 2+ months

I haven’t used cash in months and I live in Ireland, maybe a lot has changed in 2 years but I don’t think so.. but sure look

I just found a school here in Pueblo. I'm thinking about signing up but I'm 51, lol. I wonder if they taking Senior Citizens, ha ha ha. I probably have to sign a waiver.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

so cool

If you obtain Irish citizenship by naturalization (time of residence), and a few years later for personal reasons, obtain British citizenship (also by naturalization) would the person have Irish citizenship revoked? Or could I stay with both?

your country sound a bit boring but peaceful by your own attitude as your body language tells and funny as your accent is so unusual for the English language ,.interesting

Hello Donn. Thanks for your content, I will be coming from Canada to Ireland to set up my new company and was curious to know what to expect. I saw your video on things you found odd in the Republic upon returning from Vancouver, and would be curious about things like "do you need to hire a car to get around", "the trains are [___] for tourists to get around on" and so on.

I got both lol cuz I live in Canada and I'm Irish so I got an Irish passport when i was born

Thanks so much <3 I am planning to travel to Ireland this summer this was very informative!

Have you tried Guinness before? How do you find it?

Just do it. Harm nothing or no one. Just do it and feel the love.

Good morning Donn. It's a brisk May morning here in the hills of Kentucky. You're right about tea. I prefer mine loose. Just dump some in the pot, and let those leaves do their thing. If a few drift into the cup, it's a blessing. You never know when a gypsy might happen by, and be able to read them. Naturally, that's always anticipating that the reading will be a good one. How could it possibly be otherwise? I have tobacco for my pipe, tea for my teapot, ink for my pen. It's simply a matter of enjoying the magic that already awaits recognition. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

Hiya Donn, how's it going? I enjoyed your videos :) We're considering moving to Canada (Alberta maybe) from Ireland actually. But I'm unsure if its a good idea. Hubby is an account and I'm a stay at home mom with our 2 kiddies. I guess I'm asking if the grass is greener on the other side? We don't have much family here that we connect with so that aspect is not really an issue. If we move it would be in the hopes of a better lifestyle and future for our little ones. I'd love to have your point of view if you have the time. I hope you and the family are doing well! All the best, Natasha
