Ireland is famous for a lot of things

Name - Emerald Isle - due to the rolling hills of richly green pastures. During an overcast day and the grey skies are above, it's so green it even reflects green off the clouds.

History - the many conflicts with England. The Potato Famine, Black '47 (not the rock band but it's based off a year in history)

Exports - Guinness (Stout and the other beers (Kilkenny, now they bought Smithwicks - a great brown ale), Murphy's Irish Stout, Jameson Whiskey, Waterford Crystal, Bellek China to name a few

Landmarks - Blarney Castle, Ring of Kerry, Cliffs of Moher, the Burren, the Hills of Tara again to name a few

Arts - U2, Sinead O'Connor, Yeats (writer), Riverdance, The Dubliners, Christy Moohr, again to name a small few

Folklore - Leperachauns, 4-leaf clovers, St. Patrick and running the mice out of town

Sport - traditional sports - Hurling (not what you do after drinking too much), Gaelic (Irish) Football, horse racing
Sport - national and club teams - rugby, football (soccer)
Sport - general - angling (fishing)

Food - Irish Soda Bread, Brown Bread, Bangers and Rashers, Blood Pudding
(though brown bread and blood pudding are found in other parts of the world, it's a distinctive treat during breakfast to have these)
