Ireland is geographically and politically part of Europe.
Ireland is also geographically part of the British Isles - nothing to do with ownership, it's just the name of a group of islands.

The Republic of Ireland (Ãire in Irish language; [1]) is a country in Europe. It shares the island of Ireland with Northern Ireland, a part of the United Kingdom.
Ireland is made up of four provinces, each containing several counties:
Leinster contains 12 counties in south-east Ireland.
Munster contains 6 counties in south-west Ireland.
Connacht contains 5 counties along Ireland's west coast.
Ulster contains 9 counties in the north of Ireland, including 6 in Northern Ireland.
However, travellers may be confused as the country is not marketed for tourism by these provincial names. Rather, tourists find themselves being welcomed to the "Sunny South East", "The West", "The North West", "The Shannon Region" and "The Midlands". It is better to plan travel by county names, cities, towns, etc., rather than worrying about which province one is going into.
Dublin / Baile Ãtha Cliath- the capital and largest city. With excellent pubs, fine architecture and good shopping, Dublin is a very popular tourist destination.

Ireland is 'sort of' in Europe ... because it's the 'farthest out' island off the coast of the 'European Continent' and most people consider those islands 'part of' whatever continent is that they are closest to.
