The population of the island of Ireland is slightly over 6 million taking in the Republic of Ireland, Greater Dublin, Northern Ireland and Greater Belfast. Ireland is the third largest island in Europe and the twentieth-largest island in the world and is surrounded by hundreds of islands and islets. English is the common language, but Irish (Gaelic) is also an official language and is taught in schools. Ireland is a great place for roaming through deserted countryside, getting off the beaten track and exploring all that it has to offer. Visitors have a chance to experience a part of Ireland’s history at first hand. Together with the warmth and comfort that comes from the Irish people Ireland offers unique surroundings and incredible views. When travelling around Ireland and crossing each of the counties you will come across some interesting cities each with their own distinct flavour. Located on the tourist route that takes visitors to the beautiful Ring of Kerry, Killarney is noted for its pubs where impromptu traditional music abounds. Another prominent truth about the town is The Killarney Lakes. The Lakes of Killarney are a scenic attraction boosting 3 main lakes; the Lower Lake, the Middle Lake and the Upper Lake, all offering spectacular picturesque views. Situated on the banks of the River Shannon, Limerick is a city that celebrates the heritage of ancient times. Traveling around the city, the history is witnessed through the selection of castles and museums still standing. Also in the city is an art gallery with a collection of different works by a mixture of Irish artists. These features combined with a wonderful music, theatre, and night scene, as well as fine dining and shopping, make Limerick a destination that everyone can enjoy. Named after the Shannon River is the region in the west known as Shannon. The county extends from the midlands out towards the Atlantic ocean covering four Irish counties. Shannon is home to Bunratty Castle and the Cliffs of Moher as well as many beautiful villages and breath taking scenery. Along the coast in the North West is Sligo often known as ‘Yeats Country’, a small fishing village. The village offers amazing views of the Sligo coastline. Moving further down lies Tipperary. The county of Tipperary is located in the south east and is a traditional county in the province of Munster. The province is full of history to explore and beauty, heritage and culture to experience.
