I would consider myself a good driver on the right side of the road but I am wondering if visiting Ireland and renting a car is for me.

Also how do you feel about driving manual transmission when not used to churning gears with the usual hand?

    I visited Ireland and it took me maybe a day to get used to driving on the left.

    Driving a stick shift on the left though took a little more time, I would often go from 1st gear to 4th gear. My muscle memory wasn’t developed in my left hand for this.

    Be aware though that the streets are much more narrow in the countryside. I was often nervous driving there.

      Seconding the narrow roads. And sometimes the only automatic vehicle they have left to rent is a 7-seater wagon.
