Help with Ireland?
For my geography class I have to do a country quilt. I chose Ireland. I don't want a ton of help, just some cool facts. We have to find stuff over religion, history, food, fclothing, economy, goverment, housing, and misc. Does anyone know anything interesting I could use for misc? Or just some cool facts that would help me with my project? Thanks =]
also does anyone know if Guinness was originated in ireland? i know its from somewhere in europe. i think..
ok common error is to think the flag comes from catholic and protestant united by white. It is the green of the south (not necessarily catholic) and the orange of the north (orange from william of orange - admittedly protestant) united by the white of peace.
Guinness is a stout and our national drink. It most definitely comes from here from Dublin in fact.
the famine started in 1845 and resulted in one million dying and about two million emigrating to the States. The population was 8 million at that time and kept going down. It has now started increasing again and we are over 4 million at the last count.
We were originally call the Island of Saints and Scholars because most people travelling from here in early history were monks and learned men who tried to spread christianity and learning abroad. (a bit different now!!).
Most people in Ireland own their own house (with a mortgage). This is quite different to the mainland of europe where many people rent accommodation.
A large part of our economy depends on agriculture.
Ireland is divided into 32 counties. 26 of these form the republic of Ireland and the other six form Northern Ireland currently governed by the United Kingdom (Down Derry Armagh Antrim Fermanagh and Tyrone).
