Everything from Ireland
The Republic of Ireland in the North Atlantic covers five-sixhts of the island Ireland. The rest, Northern Ireland, is part of the UK. The republic has a population of 5.1 million. Its terrain features low-lying central plains surrounded by coastal mountains. The capital, Dublin, is a historic city famous for its literary heritage and vibrant pub culture. Ireland’s history includes centuries of British rule, the devastating Great Famine of the 1840s, and eventual independence in the early 20th century.
A member of the EU, modern Ireland transformed from a largely agricultural society into a knowledge-based economy, becoming a European hub for technology and pharmaceutical corporations. It is known for its lush green landscapes, friendly people, and rich cultural exports.
