If you want to wear the kilt in Ireland then go ahead and do it. Ireland is a fortunate part of the world where clothing choices are freely made. However, don't expect anyone to to be impressed or bothered one way or the other and if anyone should notice they will more than likely say nothing as polite people do. What they may be thinking is entirely another matter. It is a perennial problem that visitors have to endure I am afraid whilst doing their own thing.
Alright I have heard stories and tales of how friendly the people are at the bar and to expect to be chatted with Is that true?
Why on earth should they not be friendly? Alright nearly every large town anywhere in the world has a bar that is best avoided, but I doubt that you will venture too far off the tourist path, so go ahead and have fun.

I remember, kilted in Northern Ireland, being accused on the same day of being a "proddy" and a "taig" but that was a while ago now!

I hope our friends across the pond will be relaxed and proud to wear their kilts anywhere in Ireland if they want to. I think I have been kilted in all 32 counties on the island now, or near enough.
