can you tell me some things about Ireland?

Question

specially,about the people of ireland

Answer 1

People in Ireland are so friendly and cheerful they will always talk to you. Dublin is the Captial City in Ireland and is over 1000 yrs old. They still speak the Native Irish Language in certain parts of Ireland. Ireland has 32 Counties - 26 are in the South and 6 are in the North of Ireland Belfast being the capital. Most Irish people love to drink Guinness the national drink, and you can visit the brewery in Dublin all year round it is an excellent site to see. Irish people have the gift of the gab {Like to talk a lot} but thats great.

Answer 2

The people are grand! C'mon over tis a great little place! Seriously though it's not all alcohol and churches there are many things to do many places to go the weather is wet in winter which lasts almost 8 months of the year LOL but the summers are brilliant cos you have so much fun you dont mind if it's not 30 degrees (mind you it was a few times this year!) there are people from all over the world living and working in Ireland now and so many different religions exist also. The largest population of immigrants here now are Polish and chinese, there is work for everyone except the Irish that choose not to work and take handouts from welfare all their lives but you get that everywhere. We have native sports hurling and gaelic football which you can go and see live all through the summer in Croke Park or rugby in Landsdowne Road, these offer a culture in themselves and networking is huge amongst the followers never mind the craic (Fun) that goes with them. We have excellent theatre, musicians, festivals, any excuse for a party any day/night of the year. We work hard and play hard and we (most of us) love to meet new people and make them feel welcome.

Answer 3

Ireland (53°30′N 7°38′W; Irish: Éire) is the third largest island in Europe. It lies in between the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea. Politically it is divided into a sovereign state, the Republic of Ireland, that covers about five-sixths of the island (south, east, west and north-west), and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, covering the northeastern sixth of the island. The name 'Ireland' derives from the name Ériu (in modern Irish, Éire) with the addition of the Germanic word 'land'.

Answer 4

The Irish people are curious, welcoming and very accomodating. If you are going to Ireland look outside the Capital - Dublin, although it is nice the real Ireland is to be found outside! There are mountains, lakes, beaches and breathtaking scenery just outside your window! I'm sure Irish people will give you a "Cead Mile Failte!"

The people of Ireland are often depicted to be stupid alcoholics. however the reality is quite the contrary they are a religious people that have been caught in a civil war that has been on going for a number of years.
