Could you give me information about Ireland ? |
Travel Info I wanna learn something about Ireland because i will go to Ireland.About economy,weather condition,language,food vorts etc. Travel Tips Ireland is knee deep in charm. Although this largely rural nation has transformed itself over the past couple of decades into one of Europe's biggest economic successes, it hasn't lost its friendly ways or its links with its traditional culture. The tourist trade may play up the crowd pleasers, from medieval banquets to Riverdance-style step dancers, but if you get away from the well-trodden tourist areas, you'll see that the charm doesn't end. There is still town after town filled with brightly painted buildings and crowded with cheeky kids in school uniforms. In even the most out-of-the-way pub you're likely to find someone playing an accordion or fiddle or simply singing with no accompaniment at all. Most everywhere, the pace of life is relaxed, and people take time for an amiable chat. We've found, too, that Ireland has a knack for being hospitable to its guests without being overwhelmed by them. The services are there, all right -- every other house seems to be a bed-and-breakfast -- but you seldom get the feeling that tourism has taken over a community and turned it for the worse. The friendly welcome is genuine. There are few pushy vendors or salespeople and little crime aimed at visitors. Even the souvenir shops seem rather low key. Take your time when traveling around the country. Although it's possible to drive the length of Ireland in less than a day and to traverse the width of the country in a few hours, we prefer to settle in and explore a particular region, whether on foot, on horseback or behind the wheel, mindful of the wandering sheep on small back roads Related Information Popular Attractions in Ireland Bunratty Castle Dublin Castle Kilkenny Castle Kilmainham Gaol Blarney Castle St Patrick's Cathedral National Museum at Kildare Street Guinness Storehouse Aran Islands (The) Smithfield Square Bunratty Castle Dublin Castle Kilkenny Castle Kilmainham Gaol Blarney Castle St Patrick's Cathedral National Museum at Kildare Street Guinness Storehouse Aran Islands (The) Smithfield Square Popular Hotels in Ireland Dromoland Castle Hotel Great Southern Hotel Galway Aghadoe Heights Hotel Radisson SAS Hotel Galway Crowne Plaza Hotel Camden Court Hotel Great Southern Hotel Killarney Four Seasons Hotel Dublin Slieve Russell Hotel Golf & Country Club Ripley Court Hotel Popular Cities in Ireland Dublin Galway Cork Killarney Limerick Kilkenny Dingle Waterford Ennis Kenmare Go to link and choose cities to learn more!

It rains a lot but the temperature rarely drops below freezing. The national language is English, although at times information is wrote in Irish as well. Few people actually speak fluent irish. The population of Ireland is about 4 million. The food in Ireland is quite like that of the states but the traditional dishes would be shepards pie(mince beef in a gravy like sauce covered with mashed potatoe and baked in the oven), beef stew, coddle which is like a stew only with bacon and sausages, bacon and cabbage and mussels. At the moment the economy is going good, but it can be quite expensive to go out. Hope this is off use to you Ire路land1 (墨r'l蓹nd) An island in the northern Atlantic Ocean west of Great Britain, divided between the independent Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, which is a part of the United Kingdom. The island was invaded by Celts c. 500 B.C. and converted to Christianity by Saint Patrick in the fifth century A.D. Ireland came under English control in the 17th century and was joined with Great Britain by the Act of Union in 1801. After the Easter Rebellion (1916) and a war of independence (1919鈥?921) the island was split into the independent Irish Free State (now Ireland) and Northern Ireland, which is still part of Great Britain. The three most important international airports in the Republic are Dublin Airport, Cork Airport and Shannon Airport. All provide extensive services to the UK, continental Europe and North America. The Irish national airline Aer Lingus and low-cost operator Ryanair are based at Dublin. Shannon is an important stopover on trans-Atlantic route for refuelling operations. There are several smaller regional airports in the Republic (Galway Airport, Kerry Airport, Knock International Airport, Sligo Airport, Waterford Airport) that mostly limit their services to Ireland and the United Kingdom. In Northern Ireland there are three main airports. Belfast International (Aldergrove) provides routes to Ireland and Great Britain, as well as many international services to Europe and recently Belfast-New York (Newark). Belfast City and City of Derry Airport mainly provide flights to Great Britain. Politically, Ireland is divided into: The Republic of Ireland, with its capital in Dublin. This state is often simply referred to internally and internationally as "Ireland" in English or "脡ire" in Irish. Technically Ireland and 脡ire are the official names of the state while the "Republic of Ireland" is its official description. Northern Ireland is unofficially known as 'the North', and 'Ulster' (the province of Ulster also includes Donegal, Cavan, and Monaghan which are in the Republic). Northern Ireland is a region of the United Kingdom. http://www.answers.com/topic/ireland?met... |
