Introduction


Ireland is an island in north-west Europe
Ireland does not have many people; it has just about 6 million people. But it can be very busy. Dublin, the capital and biggest city in Ireland, is a very busy city. It has just above 1 million people.

Ireland is nicknamed "the Emerald Isle" since its vegetation is so green and is covered in pasture and farmland. In Ireland, the landscape can vary from place to place. For instance, north of Dublin City, there are large plains with many fields of different shapes and sizes. But in the mountains in County Donegal, there are large valleys of plain grass and bogs.

Do you know that there are about 40 million people in the USA who consider themselves "Irish" (more like Irish Americans)
