A Holiday In Ireland   by Stephen McBride

The population of Ireland is approximately 4.5 million, which is of course small for a country. It is split into 2 parts - the republic Of Ireland and Northern Ireland, which is still in fact a part of the UK. It consists of 32 counties, 26 which are in the ROI and 6 which are in N.Ireland.

Ireland has three world heritage sites - the Boyne valley (scene of a very famous battle), Great Skillig and the Giants causeway in Northern Ireland.
