Some people do be living in caves, others live in mud huts. The majority are nomadic people, travelling around in hiaces and caravans.

We have lots of big families due to a lack of availability of prophylactics.

We've been a communist dictatorship since 1921, with a popular Socialist leader until recently, Bertie (Lenin) Ahern. He's been superseded by Brian (Trotsky) Cowen.

Yes it is.

This wouldn't perchance be a homework question would it? We had no internet in my day, we had to find the answers out the hard way!

If you must use the internet I suggest staying as far away from Wikipedia as possible.

Just to clarify one of Shadows points - Ireland is a neutral country - so it does not participate in wars. But I agree with one of his final points - the Irish are extremely intelligent!!

Sorry to say, but in order to really know these things for the truth of what they are you must go to Ireland and experience it for yourself.

If I could mention... it the the Republic of Ireland. Not just Ireland. It is divided in two parts. Northern Ireland which is part of the UK, and The Republic of Ireland. The Republic broke off from the UK just like America did and even today there is a lot of tension between the religious aspects of the north and south. From what I notice most people don't care about the government side even though you'll find a very republican person with sinnfein every once in a while in a pub or too. But it is the prods and the catholics. The south is about 97% catholic and the north is about 97% Protestant.

The protestant religion was brought there after the queen noticed that st.patrick was kicking *** in Ireland and teaching them about the catholic religion so the scots were ordered to migrate to Ireland to spread the word of the protestants. WELL The scots didn't make it down through the isle and mainly stayed in the north and never branched out any more than that. St. Patrick used the 3 leaf clover to depict the cross and it is a catholic symbol. For those Americans who where them and are christian, most likely a branch of the protestant religion, they are misrepresenting their own religion and I find them to be very hypocritical.

The Architecture, many homes tend to be very strong due to the strong winds and rains and unpredictable weather at times. The insulation is very important to have because of the frigid cold from the atlantic coast. To be honest you should look on one of their government websites. The republic is apart of the European Union, since 1973, and the people are able to travel within the states of the EU freely without issues or needed visas. Ten years ago there was an economic boost which brought many people of diverse cultures to Ireland to live and since then they also have started to go into a recession. Also they changed their currency when they joined the EU and the Euro made a huge comeback on the American dollar. Never has the American dollar been lower than the Euro but for 1 euro it costs about 1.55USD.

Because Ireland depends so much upon imported goods, and a lot of them are from America, they are having economic problems. America is in a recession and when America is in recession, the rest of the world starts to go down as well.

The living quarters depends on who you are whether you get a flat with a mate to share and split the costs with a double bedroom fully furnished. You can look at the real rooms and things on daft.ie. Also on there, there are photos of the architecture. There are lots of heaters in the house, in a house you'll see they like to warm their towels or blankets on the heaters.

Also about the Government, I would like to think it is one of the best governments in the world to represent their people in a time of need. Even though it is dependent on some countries, they help in many wars that they believe are fought for a reason. They even have helped in the war on terrorism in Iraq. Their government system sort of models America's in a sense but if there are any major changes or bills passed the entire Republic must vote on it as apart of the EU

Things most americans don't know:
The food in Ireland is very expensive because tax is included. They drive on the left side of the road. They pay about 30 cents for a plastic bag to put their groceries in so it is BYOB, bring your own bag or else you will be paying for each extra bag you use. It has reduced pollution. The families are fantastic people who want to know everything that is going on. The Irish people are very intelligent and don't want to beat around the bush like americans. Also, in small towns that don't get as many tourists, they LOVE Americans.
