Funny you should mention the broadband thing for Westmeath. My parents finally got it last week as part of the National Broadband Plan. Didn’t have sufficient phone reception and didn’t want Starlink.
Had a laugh with my dad, the original date Eircom gave for getting broadband in the area was late 2008.

Being from the North most of them are spot on except the tayto one. Southern tayto is great

the I prefer northern tayto right over tipperary is spot on positioning. Nobody complains as loudly about northern tayto when in an ‘irish bar’ abroad then us tipp folk. I am embarrassingly bad at grumbling about them having fake tayto or calling bulmers, magners etc.

To offend all the Irish in one go? When an outsider refers to Ireland as part of the British isles. Not getting into the wrongs or rights of it but it definitely rubs people the wrong way.

Dubliners really don’t like it when I refer to them as Pale Bastards.

Nah
To offend an Irish man you tell him he’s a watery bag of self righteous shite always looking for a rub on the head and to be told he’s the bestest boy

‘What part of Scotland are you from?’ is way too real, especially when you’re travelling overseas 😂

Im from Carlow and I can promise you that we would all be offended by the statement of “nothing to do here” but sadly we are all in different counties and countries to try and have a good break

I’ve found great success at winding up Cork people by telling them they aren’t even the second largest city in Ireland it’s Belfast and then when they argue that it doesn’t count its Northern Ireland I tell them that’s very British partitionist thinking. You can’t lose.

“Sorry sir, it’s table service only”
The amount of irish people who get offended by this is crazy 🤪.
This is coming from a guy that works in a restaurant in a four star hotel?!?

From Galway. McDonalds is better than supermacs.
Most of the “insults” I’m sure sound good to someone who doesn’t actually meet people from other counties.

What’s offensive about asking someone how many cows they own?
I’m only a townie so I don’t know the finer details of farmer etiquette.

I’m Canadian and I was visiting my cousins in Killarney and at the pub with their friends. I was asked where I was from and I told them to guess. He said America? I corrected him and said I was Canadian. “That’s the same thing”
“Oh are you British?”
The steam coming out of his ears. “Don’t call me American. I won’t call you British”

Nothing specific to say about Offaly? That’s all fairly generic.
