Ireland - An Introduction

The Irish people see themselves as European, but closely guard their national identity. For such a small country, Ireland has made a big impact on a global scale with either Irish people or decedents of Irish people living in every corner of the globe. No matter where you go, you will meet an Irish man or woman.

It is often said that you should prepare to experience all four seasons during one day in Ireland. However, due to Global Warming, Ireland has enjoyed wonderful dry warm Summers over the last number of years.
