A country where everyone is related to one another in some shape or form, as a result of mass emmigration and boredom (leading to over-enthusiastic reproduction and interbreeding). The mass emmigration also led to the larger percent of America to have some ancestor of Irish decent. Americans have some strange habit/obsession with pointing out this fact.
On the bright side, it is a very friendly nation.

The only country where it is socially acceptable for young teenagers to shift numerous -sometimes dozens- of fellow teenage disco attendees in one night.
The only country where it is widely acceptable to refer to kissing or snogging as shifting.
Overall: a land of vast opportunity populated by legendary people

The most beautiful, cultured and economically strong country in western Europe. For its size, it has produced many geniuses, who will continue to be studied and adored. A nation that is full aware of its importance in Europe, and the world. a country that "Fights well above its weight". The Celtic tiger has given this beautiful country the boost it needed to reign supreme of her own affairs. A country once torn and still bares the scars of the illegal occupation by a "more civilised" nation that raped, ruined and pillaged nearly every country in the world at the but of a gun. One day this fabulous country will be united and that shall be my dancing day. Any uninformed, uncultured member of the dregs of society (more than likely British) who thinks that Ireland and its inhabitants are the slaves of Europe are gravely misinformed. The people of Ireland do not care how they are perceived by the rest of the world, we know that our country is one that shines bright in the European union, a neutral country that harbours a great tradition of acceptance and diversity. A country of beautiful unspoilt landscapes paralleled with bustling cities and cosmopolitan lifestyles. A country that I am proud to call home, because when you have such a home, you are one lucky individual! Up President Mc Aleese!

Ireland is a beautiful country. Whenever I have visited with my Granny (Who is Irish) people have been so friendly. I love visiting Dublin and seeing all the famous landmarks, including the guiness factory. There is also the 'Cockles and Mussels song (Also called the Molly Malone song)' which I have loved since I was a child.
Molly Malone / Cockles And Mussels
Alive alive oh
alive alive ohh
Singing cockles and mussels
alive alive ohhh
In Dublin's fair city
where the girls are so pretty
I once met a girl named sweet Molly Malone
and she wheeled her wheel barrow
through the streets broad and narrow
singing cockles and mussels alive alive oh
She was a fish monger
and sure was no wonder
so were her mother and father before
and they wheeled their wheel barrow
through the streets broad and narrow
singing cockles and mussels alive alive oh
She died of a fever
and so one could save her
and that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
now her ghost wheels her barrow through the streets broad and narrow
singing cockles and mussels alive alive oh
Alive alive oh
alive alive ohh
Singing cockles and mussels
alive alive ohhh
One of Ireland's most famous folk songs!!
