That’s not accurate at all. Sure the Bible Belt should be up around Ballymena.
Can we sticky this for the night-shift please ?
Needs Pat Kenny resting his foot on top for scale.
Texas fits in Louth 4 times
God wouldn’t it actually be shite of Ireland was that big though hahaha
It’s a common misperception that leprechauns are small. They just look that way because Ireland is so big.
“Londonderry” and “Connaught”! Me thinks this is a tan map of Ireland
26 + 6 + 50 = 1
I need a banana for scale, can’t understand the proportions man
I was really surprised when I learned Ireland and Newfoundland are almost the same size.
I’ll never understand someone saying a 3 hour daily commute to work or an hour to the pub is normal. completely daft
Yeah but you forgot Alaska. We’re at least as big as Sligo.
Imagine if 4 million Catholics appeared in Newtownards overnight
Did you know you can fit 4 Texas’s into Cork alone!
Scale is in km, converted to football fields that works out at hella 16 wheelers.
yea its a secret agreement with the lads who make the maps to deliberately mis represent the size of ireland to facilitate the infestation of other countries, the feeling was if they made the map the correct size we wouldnt be underestimated enough to do the singing and dancing around the place
Imagine if there was 350 million of them up there.
Don’t underestimate Monaghan’s size..
America only seems bigger because it’s measured using imperial system. If they converted to metric they’d know the actual size.
American here, I think the confusion occurs when converting kilometers to miles
Ireland scaled proportionally to the number of Americans who say they have Irish heritage
Northern Ireland is way too big on that map because of the Mercator Projection.
That’s cos you left out Alaska dummy
American. When I was visiting Dublin I went to a hurling match at Croke park and I sat next to this 12 year old boy who was telling me all about the game. He had a super thick accent so I asked where he was from and he said “I’m from Galway, my family and I drove here this morning all the way across the country, it took two and a half hours! Can you believe how big Ireland is?” I’m glad this map finally puts it in perspective for me.
The map projection adds distortion, that’s why everyone thinks America is bigger.
I think if you ever had to drive across Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Nebraska, South Dakota, etc… you would understand that the extra space is not always a blessing…
Wow. It really IS a long way to Tipperary!
If Ireland is so big why aren’t there any houses?
Fuck me but do you know how many Americans are going to believe this?
It can’t be that big, it can’t even fit one whole Ireland in it.
Ah sure Wexford is as big as your maa
Ah memories…of looks I got when I suggested a 2hr drive in a car wasn’t much. I’m originally from California, for reference.
Everything is bigger in Texas, even Ireland
Ireland, the T.A.R.D.I.S. of countries.
No wonder it took me all day to drive from Kilkenny to Killarney.
