How Dangerous is Ireland for a Protestant?

March 8, 2010 - 1:08 am 24 Comments

I am a devout Non-Denominational Christian, and a practicing Christian as well. I know in the last few decades Ireland has become more and more liberal and de-catholicized in terms of Catholic & Government. But, I am planning on visiting, and I was wondering if anyone who lives in Ireland, or has visited Ireland could let me know the general attitude towards protestantism and protestants?

If you are talking about the Republic, there are many Protestants living here, Irish as well as immigrants from the UK and elsewhere. Around 200,000 out of a population of 4.5 million according to the last census. Most towns and villages have a Protestant Church (Church of Ireland)

In the five years I have lived here no one has ever asked me what my religion is, and when I have volunteered the information that I am not a catholic it has never caused a problem. I have never come across any prejudice either in my personal or business life and as a non Catholic or a Brit and if the Irish have reason to be prejudiced against anyone it is us Brits but they do not.

How do I speak in an Irish accent for my school musical production?

February 28, 2010 - 7:36 am 2 Comments

I am playing the role of an Irish Police Officer (Officer Patrick Kelly) for our school’s musical. It is set in the 1950’s. It would really set the mood, and be funny if I would be able to talk in an Irish accent! I would greatly appreciate your help! Thank you!

That’s great that you want to get so into character!

If you truly want to have a flawless Irish accent, I suggest watching this movie: Chocolat. At least, watch the bits with Johnny Depp… in the movie he is Irish. It’s much easier than trying to explain it.

Here is a scene with him:

What is the name of the irish ghettos when they came to america?

February 26, 2010 - 4:02 am 2 Comments

I think it started with a c, but i cant remember. They were segregated communities for the Irish.

Well. The word slum in always used, I suppose. There’s no word for it like, no Irish word, Gaelic word for slum that you’re lookin for. And don’t you like how that black guy that answered first thinks that only black people live in ghettos. That’s funny, I coulda sworn the word came from where they made the jews live.

Class D mono vs. A-B dual channel bridged for sub?

February 26, 2010 - 4:02 am 3 Comments

What kind of quality difference would be noticed when running a sub on either a class d mono amp or a dual channel class a-b amp with the channels bridged? I’ve noticed that class d’s are more expensive, is this because they are more power efficient or do they also produce better quality signals for subs?

a-b are cheaper? not uh. i dont think so. a-b amps arnt very efficient and are made for sound quality for component sets or home audio (you want even more expensive/sq/less efficient check out vacuum tube amps) d class amps are made for subs because there very efficient like 70-80% and the more quality the brand usually the less of a strain on your electrical it is

id like to know what a-b amps are cheaper then d class tho!

hope it helps

What hotel does Taylor Swift stay in when she is preforming in Philadelphia?

February 24, 2010 - 7:26 am 3 Comments

NO I am not going to stalk her, my Family and I are planning a trip to Philadelphia and my daughter adores her. I thought it would be nice to stay in a hotel her idol once stayed in.

Judging by her attire & singing, she’ll probably be staying at Motel 6.

That way, she’ll be closer to K-mart! It is evident, she LUVS the blue-light specials!

How much does a driver earn in Ireland per month?

February 24, 2010 - 7:26 am 3 Comments

What is the monthly slary of a driver in Ireland?Is this job good at irelnd?I have got a driver job offer from Ireland but I am confused abt it.Can anyone help me what to do?

What sort of "driver" do you mean? There are various different types of licences, Hackney (taxi) licences, B licences for vans minibuses etc up to EC+1 licences for the biggest articulated lorries (HGVs)

My partner has had several truck driving jobs in Ireland over the years, he has a EC+1 licence. Some employers pay an hourly rate (average take home pay 500-600 Euro per week for a 50 hour week) some pay by the trip so if you drive from one end of Ireland to the other and it takes you 10 hours you get paid the same as if it took you 8 hours, your fault you were slow.

The wages are not great and often you are expected to sleep in the cab. Usually there is a meal allowance but not always and 10 hours driving is still normal despite the "rule" about tachographs and rest periods.
