What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Malahide?

Answer this Question

We asked people in Malahide if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. For new expats, keep in mind that these incidents are an inevitable part of expat life. Learning to laugh about them is the key!...

"In Malahide, it's important to avoid making jokes or derogatory comments about the Irish language, history, or culture, as this can be seen as disrespectful. It's also considered rude to not thank someone after they've provided a service, such as a bartender or waiter. Avoid discussing sensitive topics like religion and politics unless you know the person well. It's also considered impolite to refuse an offer of tea or coffee when visiting someone's home. Don't assume that everyone in Ireland likes or follows stereotypical Irish traditions, such as drinking Guinness or celebrating St. Patrick's Day. Lastly, avoid comparing Ireland to the UK, as this can be a sensitive topic due to the countries' complex history," explained one expat living in Malahide, Ireland.
