Ireland, (Éire in Galeic), officilally, Poblacht na hÉireann, the Repubic of Ireland, is the westernmost of the countreis consitered to represent 'Northern Europe'. Ireland is a parlimentary democracy and its capital is Dublin. Ireland gained independence from Britain on December 6th 1922 and has both Irish and English as its official language. It is also the only Celtic nation to gain independence. Roman Cathiolicism remains an important part of Irish life, though, in common with much of Europe the country is undergoing a secularist movement and religious observance is declining in the young. Ireland is a modern European state and a member of the European union and the European Single Currency. During the late 1990s and early 2000s the country saw impressive economic growth and this led to the country being dubbed the 'Celtic Tiger'. Although Ireland is not that well known for its Cuisine, the country makes good use of both its natureal seafood resources and of the agricultural produce which used to be the backbone of the economy. |
