From greeting someone with a hearty "Howya!" to understanding the affectionate term "culchie" for someone from the countryside, Horan ensures that visitors can navigate social interactions with ease.
When it comes to snacks, Horan recommends trying Tayto crisps, an iconic Irish treat that pairs perfectly with a pint. He also highlights the importance of sampling Irish soda bread and a hearty stew, dishes that reflect the country's culinary traditions.
Horan's guide extends beyond Mullingar, taking readers on a scenic journey along Ireland's picturesque coastline. He recommends pitstops in coastal towns such as Dingle and Kinsale, where visitors can experience the stunning landscapes and rich maritime heritage.
