But don't forget that, unlike in the UK, speed limit signs are in kilometres/hour, not miles/hour. Similarly, road distances are in kilometres (generally).

This is, of course, only because the North American definition of reliable usually implies a simple progression of needs to fulfillment of those needs. Instead I would say: You will get where you are going. You will eventually get what you are looking for. It may not come in the way you expected or be what you thought, but it'll happen and it'll all be grand. ... The unreliability is backed up by the reliability that even if you think something didn't work, something will probably work in the end.
That in itself is a grand description of "reliability" in Ireland.
