what have you got to do to find a UK and Ireland QUESTION?

How about type Ireland into the search box at the top of this page and hit "Search Answers". FYI, Yahoo Answers sorts the question that you ask for you based off of keywords. And guess what? This question is in the Travel>Ireland>Other section. Magic. You created one yourself.

I thought the convention was to post such things in News and Events, otherwise being the smaller population people from these countries (and Australia and India for that mater) have the "burden" of needing to identify their questions pertain to the country they live in, as the default assumption is America or Canada.

We cant as all the English speaking questions are on the same site so we just have to put up with getting all the US and Aus questions and every other English speaking company

Look on the left side of this page. Scroll past the list of categories until you get to a bullet point labeled INTERNATIONAL.

Click on that bullet, then the flag of the country you want to go to..and VOILA!! Yer there

There's nothing you CAN do. It's all mixed up and we're reliant on questioners saying what country their question relates to.
