'''Ireland''' ('''Republic of Ireland''') is a member state of the [[European Union]] but with only partial participation in the [[Schengen Agreement]]. It is a great country for hitchhiking. The recent economic upsurge has changed this situation a little bit though. But the recent and inevitable economic downturn has made the people a bit more accommodating and brotherly again.
[[Hitchhiking]] is the easiest and fastest way to travel in the countryside and in the less inhabited regions where public transportation such as [[train]] or [[bus]] is not available or it is not as frequent as a traveler might expect (one or two buses per day). You can easily get multiple lifts from one village to another for really short distances, and people are very welcoming. You can get a lift virtually anywhere, even on the smallest roads.
