 Our Celtic history |
Our Celtic HistoryIreland has a rich history and its evidence is found in the ruins of ancient monuments and castles, some of which are older even than the pyramids. The first settlers were probably from Scandinavia, who traveled to Scotland, then across to Ireland. The Irish Race is a combination of the three major originating tribes, which became known as the Celtic Race. Even today, the population of Ireland is predominantly of Celtic origin. |
 The Irish language |
The Irish LanguageAlmost everyone speaks English, although the accents vary greatly from county to county. About one-fourth of the population, mostly in the western areas, also speak Irish, a Gaelic language that is the traditional tongue of Ireland. Both Irish and English are official languages. |

Ireland is divided into 32 counties, and as you travel through them, you will notice that the nature of the landscape varies greatly, so that in a short period of time, you will feel as though you have travelled through different countries! |
