Other - Ireland

I'm thinking of traditional surnames associated with those areas of Ireland like LaVelle, Reville, Maye, Marren, Costello, Deveraux, Henri, Gascoigne, Dupree, etc.. These very French sounding surnames seem especially predominant in Western Sligo and North-eastern Mayo. Any ideas why?

"The blue the balck the orange and green the emblem of our nation." Is that refering to the flag? if so where is the black coming from?

My best friend and I will be travelling from Australia to the UK then on to Europe and the US commencing March 08, and as my birthday falls on 18 March, we thought we couldn't pass up the opportunity to spend St Patricks day before it in Ireland, therefore I was hoping for some suggestions about where might be a good place to celebrate my 'late 20's' birthday! Any other suggestions about what to see would be appreciated, can't wait to get there!

I live in the republic only 10 miles from Crossmaglen, but I'd like to have a look around Crossmaglen. Is there likely to be animosity there to someone with a British accent who has a complete dis-interest in the whole sectarian thing?

I know there are two official languages in Ireland - Irish(Gaelige) and English.
However, hardly anyone speaks Irish as their first language and English is by far the predominant language spoken throughout the country.
It seems almost everyone in Ireland speaks only English now.

1. When did English become a predominant language in Ireland?

2. Why has Irish language been dying out? Have English people forced to speak English to Irish people?

I want to go to Ireland in a few years. I was wondering what the best place to visit was? What is the best time of year to go? What airline should I fly? I will be flying out of Albany, NY. I didn't know if I will have to fly into NYC or something. Thanks in advance for any answers.

I am English and a few months ago I moved to Co. Monaghan from UK. Now I feel like a change and want to move to somewhere else in Ireland. Any recommendations you may have and reasons for re-locating there would be much appreciated.

I have written a letter in English, but I need it to be re written in Gaelic because that is the only language my Poppy speaks. My grandmother is no longer alive and my family is not fluent in the language anymore.
