RE: First Steps in Ireland
Okay, noted, I'll avoid the term then, thanks for pointing it out!
Being in the Republic of Ireland, I try to be careful about that anyway, as I can't really be sure how people's stance is. I'm just trying to integrate and avoid any obvious social mistakes (or "Fettnäpfchen", as the German says).
Nobody will be offended as you wouldn't be expected to know these things. But you might get corrected. 😃
Travelling anywhere is an experience and a learning curve as everywhere has its own past and it's own social intricacies.
The general rule of thumb is that if a person is polite and genuine they will be welcomed anywhere.
