 Economy
The economy of the Republic of Ireland in the last twenty years is
gradually gaining momentum. Several decades ago, the agrarian
sector played a dominant role in the economic development of the
country. Now, the profits of the agricultural sector are not more than ten
percent of the total Gross Domestic Product of the country. About eight
percent of the total number of working citizens is involved in this sector.
The meat and dairy production area has undergone further
development in Ireland. However, the total number of agricultural
products is not sufficient even for domestic consumption, so wheat and
many other items are imported from abroad. The industrial sector in
Ireland began to develop from the middle of the last century

History
From the beginning, the history of Ireland has been a search for
identity. In fact, the troubled relationship between Ireland and its
neighbor provides the prism through which much of Irish identity is
reflected. It took about 500 years for the different Celtic tribes to settle
in Ireland. The Turoe Stone in County Galway is another excellent
representation of Celtic art.

III and V different groups of missionaries Christianized Ireland, which

included an assimilation of the Druidic rituals of the pagan tribes and
which resulted in a hybrid known as Celtic or Insular Christianity. Irish
Christian scholars studied Greek and Latin philosophy and theology in
raised monasteries in such places as Clonmacnoise in County Offaly,
Glendalough in County Wicklow, and Lismore in County Waterford.
 Geography
Ireland encompasses a wide central limestone plain surrounded by
coastal mountains. The monotony of the central plains is interrupted in
certain places by low hills and beautiful lakes. To the west, next to
Galway Bay, in the county of Clare, is the El Burren region, an
extensive limestone terrain with little fertile soils and scattered
vegetation, but abundant in remains of prehistoric times (menhirs,
megaliths and burial mounds).
The bays provide a secure anchorage and many have been converted
into ports, including the Shannon Estuary, Galway Bay, Dublin Bay,
Waterford Harbor and Cork Harbor. Some, like Bantry Bay and Dingle
Bay, west of Kerry, are flooded river estuaries.
The longest river in Ireland and the British Isles is the Shannon (370
km); it is born in the northwest, near Sligo Bay and flows south until
it reaches the sea in Limerick. Other major rivers are the Liffey, the
Barrow, the Nore, the Boyne, the Blackwater, the Moy and the Suir.
There are many lakes (loughs) in Ireland; many are to the west and
others to the center, such as the Allan, Ree and Derg plains.
 Famous Cities.

Dublin: is located on the east coast and was historically founded as

a Viking settlement. The city of Dublin has a lot of places to explore
like Dublin Castle, St. The city also hides a lot of beautiful
landscapes, such as the views of the River Liffey and the large
number of parks that you will find throughout the city. Some
examples of parks in Dublin are Phoenix Park, Trinity College

Galway: It is a city in the west of Ireland that has a population of about

75,500 inhabitants. It houses a large number of medieval buildings
such as castles and churches. Galway is known as the Cultural Heart
of Ireland, which is why it hides a lot of cultural activities throughout the
year such as festivals and museums.If you want to explore the
surroundings of Galway, you will find incredible places like Connemara,
the Aran Islands or buildings like Kylemore Abbey.

Writers

Samuel Beckett:
Perhaps best known for his edgy writing style, Beckett was a novelist of
recognized merit, with unique and precise language twists. Born in
Dublin shortly after the turn of the century, he was a disciple of James
Joyce in Paris during the 1920s and remained a member of the
resistance during World War II. Between World War II and the 1960s,
he wrote some of his most prolific works, such as Molloy, Eleutheria,
and of course Waiting for
Godot
Oscar Wilde:
Known for his penetrating wit and biting satire, Wilde is famous for
being the author of The Portrait of Dorian Gray and The Importance of
Being Ernest, among many other works
Actors

 Singer

U2:
Probably the most famous Irish musicians are U2, who have been on
the move since they were teenagers in 1976. The band formed at
Mount Temple School in Dublin's Northside, originally with 6 members.
They went through two name changes ('Feedback' and 'The Hype') and
lost 2 members before settling on their current name and lineup.
Despite having very little musical ability when they were formed, within
4 years the band had signed with Island Records, and within ten they
were considered the largest band around, touring the world.
 Typical food

Boxty: It is a very typical potato cake here in Ireland. There are many
different recipes with various ingredients. But they all have in common
the finely grated and fried potato.

Coddle: it is made from layers of pork sausage cut into slices and
wrapped in bacon. All this mixed with potatoes cut into slices and
onions. Some traditional recipes include a small amount of Guinness.

Fish and chips: or what is the same, battered fish with fried potatoes.
It is not a strictly traditional Irish dish, but you can find several
establishments of this type of fast food or be seen on the menu of
many pubs.
 Dublín
Dublin, the capital of the Republic of Ireland, is located on the east
coast of Ireland at the mouth of the River Liffey. Its historic
