Location Attributes

Ireland is an island in the Atlantic ocean 50 miles off the western coast of Britain across the Irish sea, and is divided into two parts - Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Almost the entire Atlantic seaboard of this country, from Cork to Donegal, consists of cliffs, hills and mountains, with the bulk of its interior composed of flat farmland and raised peat bogs, all draining into the river Shannon, which enters the sea west of Limerick.

Ireland covers an area of 84,421 sq km and has a population of almost 4 million Irish, English or Gaelic speaking people. Ireland has a climate moderated by the Gulf stream which gives rise to a hint of Caribbean balminess and winter weather that seldom drops below freezing or brings snow.

Summer temperatures are rarely sizzling but daylight hours are longest at this time of the year, and most visitors in search of holiday accommodation arrive between the months of June and September.

Despite it's unpredictable weather, Ireland is a popular holiday destination for people from the world over, many of whom visit to help in their research of family history, and others who just crave it's peace and unadulterated natural beauty.
