Oh yeah!
The black pudding.
The sausages.
But I didn’t realise they had started a black pudding sausage.

Belfast and northern ireland in general is a crazy, magnificent, sometimes edgy, interesting, beautiful place.
Spent 3 days there nearly 3 years ago.
Stayed in antrim which is quiet (but nice enough) but did belfast, north coast (portrush, portstewart etc) and londonderry. Londonderry/derry is a mind boggling place
loved the whole gaff and we cant wait to go back

If staying in Dublin and fancy a day trip try Glendalough, Co Wicklow. Mountains, lakes, good walking and great scenery. St Kevins bus goes from central Dublin, although not sure of times/frequency.

This is one I’ve thought of doing with the missus. Although I have a semi electric bike myself and have been up over the head on it, but not off road on the trails.

White pudding is always one thing that I like showing to visitors from home. It's excellent, and the two in one version as shown above is really good too.
Aside from flights from Dublin and one night there for my 28th birthday I know nothing about that area or the east of the country for that matter. I really think the west/south west offers more but I would say that given my experience.

I’m from Dublin and the advice I always give is get out of Dublin and down to the West if you have time.
There is no doubt The West is the place to be. The full Atlantic Way from Donegal all the way down to Kerry and West Cork is incredible.
I used to be big into SCUBA diving, so have been to a lot of out of the way places all along the coast.
The guys are talking about a short break around the city though, so shorter trips like Wicklow, Howth Malahide even Kilkenny are what most are coming up with.
CIE Tours do however do one day trips down to The Cliffs of Moher and Galway, that we have sent students staying with us on. It’s about 9 hours on a bus, but it gives you a good feel for The Cliffs, The Burren and lunch in Galway.
I’m a white pudding man all the way, it’s far superior.It's black pudding, with the centre being white pudding. Delicious, though the calorie counter would be a blur! Not sure if white pudding is a thing back in Blighty?

I was in the blue light on Saturday, he’s a Mayo man so no free pints! I never mentioned The Swan on Auinger street or O’Connells on Richmond street, great pubs and you’re not paying over the odds.
