Ireland is surrounded by the sea. It is warm in winter and cool in summer and has plenty of rain. From this point of view, Ireland is a pretty good country and it is worth a visit.

Ireland is located in western Europe, close to the Atlantic Ocean to the west, close to the Irish Sea to the east, and across the sea from England. Capital: Dublin, main languages: Irish, English. Land area: 70,000 square kilometers, population: 4.98 million. There are several more important cities for Irish people: Cork, Limerick and Galway.

Irish history:

The first settlers in Ireland came from the United Kingdom. In the 6th century BC, the Celts became the masters of this territory and established five small kingdoms. These invaders became the ancestors of the modern Irish. After centuries of ups and downs, in 1169, the British soldier Richard de Claire invaded Ireland under the direction of King Henry II of England. After a battle, he successfully captured Dublin and helping to restore Dermot, the former king of the Irish kingdom of Leinster. After Dermot's death, Richard de Claire was besieged by the Viking monarch Askar and the Irish King Roderick and won the final victory. The eastern coastal areas of Ireland and the Leinster area were reduced to British colonies.

In 1542, Henry VIII became the King of Ireland. After some wars, the British successfully controlled everything in Ireland. However, the calm did not last long. The great famine broke out in Ireland due to poor potato harvest. The British government caused dissatisfaction among the Irish people in Britain, and the independence movement broke out. After a sustained and effective war, irish people gain independence.

Irish economy:

Ireland is surrounded by the sea, which is very suitable for crop production, which makes agriculture and animal husbandry in Ireland's economy occupies a major position. Since 2008, Ireland’s economy has experienced negative economic growth and the country’s overall deficit rate has increased. Fortunately, the government’s emergency policy adjustment has helped Ireland to tide over the difficulties.

The reason for the rise of the Irish economy lies in the low tax policy, which has attracted countless high-tech companies to set up branches here, thereby driving economic development. The dominant position in the Irish economy is agriculture, followed by industry and foreign trade and several industries cooperate with each other to promote the sustained and effective development of the irish economy.

Irish benefits:

Ireland is a high-welfare country. Their welfare benefits involve every period of a person's life. The system is extremely complete and enviable.

Irish women can receive a subsidy for up to 26 weeks after pregnancy. The weekly amount is 240 Euros and they can also enjoy the other benefits. At the same time, each child can enjoy 140 Euros per month. At the same time, Ireland has corresponding benefits and subsidies in terms of rent, unemployment, work-related injuries, medical care, and pensions.

Some things in Ireland:

1. How long can I love someone? I hope it will last forever. After all, in this era, the high divorce rate has become a nightmare for countless young people. Ireland is a bit different. In 1937, a law was introduced that did not allow divorce. Most Irish people believe in Catholicism. There are relevant provisions in Catholic teaching that do not allow divorce, this law was repealed in 1997, but it is still not easy to get a divorce in ireland.

2. Ireland is a big milk producing country. Milk is fresh and cheap in this country.

3. When buying wine in Ireland, you must bring your identity certificate, so that it can be sure that the person buying alcohol is at least eighteen years of age. The reason why the salesperson does this is that once he sells the wine to a minor, he may be punished.

4. Weekends on most countries are the best time for shopping, but it is a little different in Ireland, here the stores usually not open, or the opening hours are very short. Normally, the shops close at 6-7 o'clock. It's really not easy to buy things at night.

5. Obesity is a sad topic at any time. In order to encourage people to lose weight, Ireland has introduced an obesity tax to ensure that the people lose weight and promote a green and healthy lifestyle.

Ireland overall scenery is excellent, and life is relatively comfortable.
