Urban Environment
The Republic of Ireland is the second largest island of the British Isles and is located in the North Atlantic sea of Western Europe. With a shift in population from rural to city centres, its capital Dublin hosts over 1.173 million individuals out of the nearly 5 million people across nearly 100 towns within the Republic of Ireland.
Politics
The island is divided into two. The Republic of Ireland in the south occupies 9/10th of the island and Northern Ireland or Ulster occupies the rest of the northern part of the island and belongs to the United Kingdom.
Ireland the Beautiful
Dublin is a lively (particularly at night) town full of locals and tourists socialising in the pub or attending rugby and football matches! The Emerald Isle has plenty of walking tours and historic buildings such as Trinity College.
Once out of Dublin, you understand why Ireland has been nicknamed the ' Emerald Island'. The lush greenery is truly magical. As an Island there are plenty of coastal villages and sandy beaches. Ireland also boasts 300 metre cliffs in Galway named the cliffs of Moher. With stunning scenic lookouts across waterfalls and historic sights, beautiful Killarney National Park is also a delight.
Spread all over Ireland are castles! Some are grand with gorgeous gardens, whilst most sadly have gone to ruin but are worth a visit if interested in history. The top three castles are Blarney Castle, Rock of Cashel and Kilkenny Castle.
