It’s St Patrick’s Day on Friday, so we’ve been thinking about the best and worst things about the small island on the edge of Europe we call home.
We would like to hear from readers - particularly those who have moved abroad - about what they miss most about Ireland, and what they certainly don’t miss even a little bit.
Maybe you didn’t realise how much you loved the weather in Ireland - or (more likely) that it is one of the things you definitely don’t remember fondly. Perhaps some part of Irish culture makes you yearn for home. Or it could be family and friends - perhaps particularly for Irish people who are a long way from home.
Or maybe it’s far simplier than that - it’s saying “thank you” to the bus driver, or enjoying a packet of crisps, or the stunning scenery.

Jack Reynor: ‘We were in two minds between eloping or going the whole hog but we got married in Wicklow with about 220 people’
Whatever it is, let us know your views using the form. Some of the submissions may be published in The Irish Times. Thank you and happy St Patrick’s Day wherever in the world you are.
