Ireland is an island nation on the westernmost edge of Europe. It is the continent's second largest island (after Great Britain). The Republic of Ireland occupies 80 percent of this landmass, while a large chunk of land in the north is part of the United Kingdom .

Ireland is known for its wide expanses of lush, green fields. In fact, its nickname is the Emerald Isle. But there are also large areas of rugged, rocky landscape. About 15,000 years ago, Ireland was completely covered by thick glaciers. The movement of these giant sheets of ice stripped the soil, leaving huge tracts of flat, limestone pavement.

The midlands and west coast of Ireland are dotted with damp peat bogs, the soggy remains of dried-up ancient lakes left by the glaciers. Ireland's highlands rise mainly in the southwest, often ending at sheer cliffs that plunge thousands of feet into the Atlantic Ocean.

PEOPLE & CULTURE

Ireland is a nation of storytellers. The tradition dates back to Celtic bards, who would record and recite the country's history. Many famed writers come from Ireland, including several winners of the Nobel Prize for literature. 

The Irish have a great affection for nature and rural life. The country's first coins even featured pictures of animals. Low levels of development and pollution in Ireland have left most of the nation's open spaces relatively undisturbed.

Did you know that there are no wild snakes in Ireland? The sea has stopped many animals common on mainland Europe from reaching the island. There are also only two wild mouse species, one type of lizard, and just three kinds of amphibians.

Irish wildlife is protected by government conservation programs. To preserve natural habitat, the government has established six national parks and hundreds of national heritage areas throughout the country.

GOVERNMENT & ECONOMY

The government of Ireland consists of an elected parliament, which makes the laws, and a president, who is head of state. The head of the government is the Taoiseach (pronounced tee-shuck), which means "chief." The Taoiseach is the leader of the political party with the most parliament members.

For most of its history, Ireland's economy has been based on farming and agriculture. But since the late 1950s, government efforts to attract business have turned the country from one of Europe's poorest nations to its second wealthiest. The amazing turnaround earned Ireland the nickname "Celtic Tiger."

Archaeologists think the first people to settle in Ireland arrived around 6000 B.C. By 3500 B.C., settlers were using stone tools to clear farmlands. Around 700 B.C., a diverse and technologically advanced culture from central Europe called the Celts began to settle the island. They would thrive there for nearly 2,000 years.

In the ninth century A.D., Viking invaders began raids into Ireland. They established settlements that later became some of the country's main cities, including the capital, Dublin. The Vikings and Celts fought often for 200 years until a battle in 1014 united the country. Peace broke down quickly though, and Ireland was divided into many kingdoms.

In 1170, Norman Vikings who had taken control of England invaded Ireland and made it an English territory. In the early 1600s, England's official religion became Protestant while most Irish remained Roman Catholic. This would create tensions that would eventually lead to revolution and Ireland's independence.

By the 1820s, British laws unfair to Catholics had sparked a mass movement for Irish sovereignty. In 1829, many of those laws were overturned, but Ireland still wanted freedom. In 1922, after violent uprisings, the Irish Free State was created within the British Empire.

Map of Ireland

Ireland: geography and landscape.

Ireland is an island nation on the westernmost edge of Europe. It is the continent’s second largest island (after Great Britain). The Republic of Ireland occupies 80 percent of this landmass, while a large chunk of land in the north, called Northern Ireland , is part of the United Kingdom. All together, the island of Ireland is made up of 32 counties .

Ireland is known for its wide expanses of lush, green fields – so much so, that its nickname is the Emerald Isle . But there are also large areas of rugged, rocky landscape, too. About 15,000 years ago, Ireland was completely covered by thick glaciers. The movement of these giant sheets of ice stripped the soil, leaving huge tracts of flat, limestone ground.

The midlands and west coast of Ireland are dotted with damp peat bogs, the soggy remains of dried-up ancient lakes left by the glaciers. Ireland’s highlands rise mainly in the southwest, often ending at sheer cliffs that plunge thousands of feet into the Atlantic Ocean.

Ireland’s wildlife and nature

The Irish have a great affection for nature and rural life. The country’s first coins even featured pictures of animals. Low levels of development and pollution in Ireland have left most of the nation’s open spaces relatively undisturbed.

Did you know that there are no wild snakes in Ireland? The sea has stopped many animals common on mainland Europe from reaching the island. There are also only two wild mouse species (the wood mouse and house mouse), one type of lizard (the common lizard) and just three kinds of amphibians (the natterjack toad, smooth newt and common frog).

Irish wildlife is protected by government conservation programs. To preserve natural habitat, the government has established six national parks and hundreds of national heritage areas throughout the country. Great news!

Irish history

Archaeologists think the first people to settle in Ireland arrived around 6000 B.C. By 3500 B.C., settlers were using stone tools to clear farmlands. Around 700 B.C., a diverse and technologically advanced culture from central Europe, called the Celts , began to settle on the island. They would thrive there for nearly 2,000 years.

In the ninth century A.D., Viking invaders began raids into Ireland. They eventually established settlements that later became some of the country’s main cities, including the capital, Dublin . These aggressive arrivals fought with the Celts often for 200 years until a battle in 1014, known as the Battle of Clontarf , united the country. Peace broke down quickly though and Ireland was divided into many kingdoms.

In 1170, Norman Vikings who had taken control of England invaded Ireland and made it an English territory. In the early 1600s, England’s official religion became Protestant , while most Irish remained Roman Catholic . This would create tensions that would eventually lead to revolution and Ireland’s independence.?

By the 1820s, British laws unfair to Catholics had sparked a mass movement for Irish sovereignty. In 1829, many of those laws were overturned, but Ireland still wanted freedom. In 1922, after violent uprisings, the Irish Free State was created within the British Empire.

In 1948, most of Ireland became an independent country, while six mainly Protestant counties in the northeast remained a British territory.

Irish people and culture

Ireland is a nation of storytellers. The tradition dates back to Celtic bards, who would record and recite the country’s history. Many famed writers come from Ireland, including four winners of the Nobel Prize for literature. The Irish also excel in sports, music and dancing!

Irish government and economy

The government of Ireland consists of an elected parliament, which makes the laws, and a president, who is head of state. The head of the government is the Taoiseach (pronounced tee-shuck), which means “chief.” The Taoiseach is the prime minister, and leader of the political party with the most parliament members.?

For most of its history, Ireland’s economy has been based on farming and agriculture. But beginning in the late 1950s, government efforts to attract business turned the country from one of Europe’s poorest nations to its second wealthiest. The amazing turnaround and economic boom in the mid 1990s and early 2000s earned Ireland the nickname the “ Celtic Tiger .”

During the global financial crisis of 2008, Ireland entered a recession and the country experienced serious financial problems. But in the past few years Ireland’s economy has started to recover and is once again on the rise.

Ireland’s landscape apart from the rugged mountains and dramatic cliffs are made up of lush greenery and rolling hills which are mostly forested, which is why it’s called the Emerald Isle.

The grass, plants, and trees are kept green and blooming because Ireland receives a lot of rain every year.

There is evidence of the human presence in Ireland dated 12,000 BC. This was proven by a bear bone that was found in a cave. The bear bone had clear cut marks from stone tools.

The bone was discovered in 1903 but it was re-examined in 2010 using better technology. This bear bone proves that Ireland was already inhabited by humans during the Palaeolithic era.

There’s only one ‘isle of Ireland’ but it is divided into two parts: Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Northern Ireland is under the United Kingdom, while the Republic of Ireland is an independent country.

In 1998, a peace agreement was signed between Great Britain, Ireland, and Northern Ireland. As part of this agreement, Ireland gave up control of Northern Ireland to the United Kingdom.

Irish Gaelic is still taught to the kids in schools, where it is a required subject. Irish Gaelic is also still the country’s official language.

If any of your grandparents are Irish, you can claim Irish citizenship. If you can prove it, then you most definitely can and should apply for Irish citizenship.

Once you become Irish, you can get a passport that’s quite useful when traveling as it covers most European countries.

The Celtics or Celts — mysterious ancient people is known for being treacherous warriors and for their intricate symbolic art are often associated with Ireland, Scotland , and Wales.

Recent findings showed though that the Celts did not originate or were exclusive to these countries, as they were of Indo-European origin.

However, Ireland is among the known distinct Celtic regions and is called Eire. Most Irish people also consider themselves to be of Celtic origin.

Tree of Life Celtic Symbol

A lot of non-Irish people often associated the color green with St. Patrick or Ireland itself.   Historians say that the right color for St. Patrick and his feast day : Irish National Holiday is light blue.

However, green actually became popular during the 1798 Irish rebellion when the clover became a symbol of Irish pride and nationalism.

With its diverse, dramatic, and stunning landscape, Ireland is a favorite filming location to some of the more notable films of the past decades. These include Star Wars which was filmed on the magnificent Skellig Michael and Braveheart in some of the country’s medieval castles .

The picturesque Cliffs of Moher meanwhile was the setting in some of the memorable parts of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince‬, ‪The Mackintosh Man‬ , and ‪Princess Bride. ‬

Skellig Michael – filming location for Star Wars films

Sean’s Bar in Athlone is said to be the oldest pub in Ireland , as it’s said to date back to 900 years, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

Ireland has a turbulent history that’s filled with battles, conquests, invasions, rebellions, and all put wars. This is why fortresses were built to protect certain areas or even families, and these structures are all over the country.

Ireland is now known all over the world for having the most number of castles, totaling to more than 30,000 including ruins. Most of these castles are converted into private homes, hotels , cultural centers, offices, and museums.

Ashford Castle

The oldest occupied castle in Ireland is the Killyleagh Castle, which is located in Castle in County Down.

Ireland has some pretty strange and difficult to pronounce names for some of its towns, villages, and cities. The longest name of them all is Muckanaghederdauhaulia. That one’s a tiny village in Connemara in Co. Galway .

It has 22 letters and considered to be the longest name in the English language. The name was taken from  Dhá Sháilemeaning, which means ‘pig-marsh between two salt waters’.

Guinness Beer is the most popular drink in Ireland , where it also originated. This beer which is also referred to as the ‘dark stuff’ can be bought all over the country in pubs and grocery stores.

The Irish are known as heavy beer drinkers, and all over the world, the country ranks as the sixth-highest consumer of beer per capita.

It ranks behind the Czech Republic, Namibia, Austria, Germany, and Poland. The average Irish person is said to consume 100 liters of beer each year.

With that interesting statistics, there is actually a drinking law in Ireland that says it is illegal to be drunk in public. It was enacted in 2009 for the purpose of maintaining public order and safety .

One of the most devastating periods in Irish history is the Potato Famine of the 1800s when the country’s staple crop failed. Approximately a million people died of starvation and disease between 1946 and 1951.

From 1945 to 1955, around two million emigrated to seek a better life in other countries.

The Famine Memorial in Dublin

The Potato Famine in the 1800s led to the significant population decline in Ireland when Irish people left the country en masse to escape the famine.

The country has yet to recover from this, as the current population of both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland is below seven million.

Around 70-80 million people worldwide claim to be part Irish or have Irish ancestry. It’s not easy to get the exact numbers but countries like Australia, Argentina, Canada, and South Africa are among the countries with the highest amount of those with Irish lineage outside of the United Kingdom.

One of the oldest legends in Ireland is that its patron saint, St. Patrick, rid the country of snakes. There is no proof of that, though, but it is true that those slithering creatures never made it to Ireland from Britain.

Ireland is isolated, and many animal species usually found in Europe are not found here such as moles, polecats, weasels, and snakes.

Despite being the patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick is not Irish. He was in fact British and according to historical accounts of his life, he was kidnapped as a teen and brought to Ireland as a slave. He escaped but came back years later to convert the Irish people to Christianity.

Halloween is of Irish origin. It came from the Irish festival called Samhain. It is a Celtic harvest festival, where the Celts believe that at the end of summer, the gulf that separates our world from the world of ghosts becomes thin.

This occurrence makes it possible for bad creatures to wander the earth. It was the Irish immigrants in the US who made Halloween popular in the 19th century.

Did you know that there’s a national Leprechaun Museum in Dublin ?  These green creatures that look like an elf and gnome hybrid are a huge part of Irish tradition.

These tiny men (female leprechauns don’t exist apparently) who can fit on top of your shoulder are harmless, maybe a bit mischievous sometimes but they are said to have lots of treasures buried all over Ireland.

Hi, I’m Christine – a full-time traveler and career woman. Although I’m from the Philippines, my location independent career took me to over 40 countries for the past 8 years. I also lived in 3 continents – from the Caribbean, South East Asia to Africa. But despite living in several countries, my love for Ireland remains the same. A country that had been a part of my life since I was 14 because of my love for Irish music and bands.

Protestantismbecame theofficial religion.Tensions startedbecause Irishpeople weremainly Catholics.

After many centuries of wars and tensions between England and Ireland, Ireland is split into two: The Republic of Ireland (independant) and Northern Ireland (British).

The Celts settled on the island.

Norman vikings, who invaded England, invaded Ireland. Ireland became an English territory.

Camogie is a variant of hurling, it is only played by women.

Players use a stick (un bâton) called a hurl to hit a small ball (the sliotar) in the goals. A player can take the ball in his hands for four steps (quatre pas). If the ball goes between the bars: 1pt, if the ball goes into the net (le filet): 3pts.

Gaelic football is very popular in Ireland. A team is composed of 15 players. Players must put the ball in the goals. Players can take the balls in their hands, they can drop it (laisser tomber) or toe-kick it (la tapper avec le bout des pieds et la faire revenir dans les mains).

MADISON PARKER IRELAND

Geography • Ireland is situated in the Atlantic Ocean and separated from Great Britain by the Irish Sea. • resembles a basin—a central plain rimmed with mountains, except in the Dublin region. • The mountains are low, with the highest peak, Carrantuohill in County Kerry.

More Geography • The principal river is the Shannon, which begins in the north-central area, flows south and southwest for about 240 mi (386 km), and empties into the Atlantic. • Half the size of Arkansas, it occupies the entire island except for the six counties that make up Northern Ireland.

History • In the Stone and Bronze Ages, Ireland was inhabited by Picts in the north and a people called the Erainn in the south, the same stock, apparently, as in all the isles before the Anglo-Saxon invasion of Britain. • Around the 4th century B.C., tall, red-haired Celts arrived from Gaul or Galicia. They subdued and assimilated the inhabitants and established a Gaelic civilization.

History Continued • In 1171, Henry II of England was acknowledged “Lord of Ireland,” but local sectional rule continued for centuries, and English control over the whole island was not reasonably secure until the 17th century. • By the Act of Union (1801), Great Britain and Ireland became the “United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.” A steady decline in the Irish economy followed in the next decades.

INSTANT RECAP: Notre Dame lacrosse captures second straight NCAA championship

The No. 1-ranked Notre Dame lacrosse repeated as NCAA champions as it dominated seventh-seeded Maryland Saturday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

Notre Dame (16-1) pulled away from fifth-seeded Denver in a 13-6 win in Saturday’s first semifinal. The Terrapins (11-6) knocked off sixth-seeded Virginia 12-6 in Saturday’s second game. Start time on Memorial Day was moved up from 1 p.m. to noon to avoid weather, but was ultimately pushed back to a start time of 2:10 p.m..

After national runner-up finishes in 2010 and 2014, head coach Kevin Corrigan and the Irish finally broke through by winning the 2023 NCAA championship for the first time in program history. The Irish are the first team to win NCAA titles in consecutive seasons since Duke in 2013 and 2014. Virginia won back-to-back in 2019 and 2021 as the 2020 season was cancelled because of COVID.

Here's a summary of Notre Dame's historic win Saturday:

The start of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse National Championship between top-seeded Notre Dame and seventh-seeded Maryland has been delayed to inclement weather. 

Moments after the National Anthem concluded around noon on Memorial Day, the NCAA announced the start time — which already had been pushed up from 1 p.m. — would be delayed. 

As a downpour hovered over South Philadelphia, the Fighting Irish and Terrapins evacuated the sidelines and retreated to their respective locker rooms at Lincoln Financial Field. 

Fans in attendance also were encouraged to seek shelter as the NCAA issued the following statement:

“A severe thunderstorm warning has been issued by the national weather service for our area. These storms may produce sever conditions, including lightning and strong winds.

“For your safety, we encourage you to exit the open seating area at this time and seek shelter along the concourses.”

The NCAA later announced the two teams would return to the field at 12:50 p.m. –– with a new anticipated start time of 1 p.m. That was then pushed back again to a 2 p.m. return to field for the two teams.

— Josh Tolentino

Rohit Sharma to MISS T20 WC 2024 Clash vs Pakistan After Injury During India-Ireland Game?

New York: Once India captain Rohit Sharma left the field on Wednesday after gesturing towards his elbow during the T20 World Cup 2024 game against Ireland, there was panic all around the Indian camp. But then, he came out and gave a thumbs up indicating that he is absolutely fine and there is nothing major that has happened. He was hit on the arm in the first ball of the 10th over, and is probably what caused the discomfort. He left the field in the 10th over with the side cruising to a comfortable win. Rohit left with the side needing 21 more runs to win the game.

"Yeah, just a little sore (the arm)," Rohit said at the post-match presentation.

He retired hurt on 52* off 37 balls. His innings was laced with four boundaries and three sixes. Eventually, India won the match by eight wickets and 24 balls to spare. And he got these runs in tricky conditions, not exactly favouring the batters.

"Quite unsure of what to expect from the pitch. Not aware on what it is to play like on a pitch that's five months old. I don't think the wicket settled down even when we batted second. There was enough for the bowlers. That's pretty much what you gotta do. Try to hit those lengths consistently," Rohit revealed the gameplan.

So, will Rohit miss the Pakistan game on June 9? No, he will lead the side in the Nassau County International cricket stadium in New York. He will also be key to India's fortune in that high-profile game. The runs that he got tonight will give him a lot of confidence. But he would also realise he was dropped early. Eyes would be on Rohit during the game against the arch-rivals.
