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

Answer this Question

We asked people in Skerries 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 Skerries, it's important to avoid discussing sensitive topics such as religion and politics unless you are very familiar with the person you are talking to. It's also considered rude to brag or show off, as modesty is highly valued in Irish culture. Don't make jokes about Irish stereotypes or the Irish accent, as this can be seen as disrespectful. It's also considered impolite to refuse an offer of food or drink, so try to accept even if you're not hungry or thirsty. Avoid being loud or obnoxious in public places, as this can be seen as disrespectful. Lastly, punctuality is important in Ireland, so try to be on time for any appointments or meetings," said another expat in Skerries, Ireland.
