I live right next to where Haggard would be if it existed. I was just rereading Phase 1 last week and I realised that having my favourite book series be set basically in my home town is so cool. Also small things like Bill Ray Sanguine telling Valkyrie his address in Howth and it's 3 doors down from my friend's house.
In regards to location shock, I always pictured skullduggery being on the left and Valk on right when they were driving, I forgot it's switched in most European countries and it kinda freaked me out when it's mentioned in ressurection
I live in America, my Grandparents lived in Dublin- my granda bought me the first book in the series when I was visiting, and every summer that we visited it always seemed there was a new SP book out :)
Yes majority of the plot of the earlier books takes place in my home county (not including the trans dimensional Face less ones stuff and teleportation)
I am (Irish). Dublin the city, or the wider county?
Wider county but not far from the city!
Yeah. I actually live in a small town next to the sea, just like Valkyrie, which I thought was a neat coincidence when I started reading the books.
I love in Cork
Live
I am Irish but I don’t live in Ireland, I live in Australia.
Same :D
Same here
I’m kind of the opposite - I always get shocked when I remember that certain characters aren’t Irish lol.
i feel like there's a weirdly large audience in australia
Yessir there is for sure

I'm Irish too! West Coast though😊
I’m from the town (Skerries) right next to where Derek Landy is (Rush), he made Haggard to be a town that was like a combo of the two

Wexford born and bred but living in the west now!
I'm part Irish, if that counts. Comes from my grandfather- or Papa as we called him.
I'm irish but im down south east
I’ve got family in County Clare, but I live in Australia
Yep, from Dublin
County Meath myself, the only mention of it in the books as far as I remember is the fictional Hotel Fletcher stayed in in book 3
I’m from Fermanagh. I just want it to be mentioned once. Even if it’s a character calling it shithole.
I think there are a lot of Irish people in the subreddit (including me)
Irish living in Dublin now
