Dublin is a great town to party in. When exactly in spring will you be there?

Yes, Ireland technically is in the British Isles. You're probably thinking of the UK.
But I know what you're getting at, because I posed a similar question on Twitter a few months ago, using the same terminology, and an Irish account said I'd end up in the ground if I said that over there lol. They just understandably don't like the B-word (even though they actually are in the British Isles).
