You could probably buy a patch of rock of Inishmaan for cheap.
In all seriousness though what are you looking to farm? How many acres? What is your budget?
is the rock farming good?
Rock candy costs a pretty penny
Fascinating map. Ireland must've been one of the most crowded countries on earth in 1841.
>Fascinating map. Ireland must've been one of the most crowded countries on earth in 1841.
It was. It had basically reached the carrying capacity of the land there so when the only subsistence crop that could reliably be grown there failed, so many people left or died that the map on the right appeared which... Jesus is rural Ireland really that empty?
As the other anon said what are you interested in farming? West coast of Ireland is the shittiest, rockiest, farming land. It's mostly rocky or boggy soil depending on the area, and has the least amount of sun. Not bad for raising cattle though. That's why the Gaelic peasants were all sent out there, because it was the shit land. The best land is in the midlands and the eastern counties. Southeast is the sunniest. Cheapest is probably Cavan or something like that. Be aware that getting a house built in Ireland is a complete bureaucratic nightmare.

>are you interested in farming?
Nope

Where did I say I'm farming, Poor anon?
Well buying a farm without the intention of farming is retarded, do you know how expensive good farmland is? just buy fallow land and build on it or a decent house with good land.
Why is buying land retarded? Farmland is cheap acreage
>Farmland is cheap acreage
not really. land is worth what it can be exploited for. i have relatives who have a farm and it is now on the edge of dublin due to the growth of dublin and worth millions because it will become an industrial park in the next decade when they sell it. a farmer can sell a field next to a road for 100k euro as a plot for development, half an acre or less. cheap land is cheap because it is inconvenient to have. anything on the east of ireland is expensive unless it is off a single track and has no services. you can get cheap land on the west because it is 70 years out of date as related to habitable.
a farmer or the family of a farmer who has just died and is selling the farm is going to sell it priced for development.
Also I'm trying not to be down on you because I do genuinely want to encourage returnees and white immigrants but you should be realistic about what your life will be here. You are trading the freedoms of the US for what is probably the idealized imaginings you have of a way of life that has been systematically undermined and voluntarily given up over the past 30 years. Good luck and god bless but don't expect the banshees of inisherin and a céilí in the local pub every night. You will be made to follow EU regulations, you will be betrayed by the west brit dublin elites, you will have to deal with shitty, scummy people trying to scam and steal from you and knackers tresspassing on your land.
