Most of
my family came from Ireland. I am not sure at what point and time but
I know that that's were they came from.
Ireland consists of a large central lowland of limestone with relief
hills and several coastal mountains. Influenced by the relatively warm
waters of the Gulf Stream, and with the southwesterly winds coming
from the Atlantic, the climate of Ireland and the temperatures are the same
over the whole country. In 1996, the
population of the State was 3,626,087. About 60% of the people live in
cities and towns of 1,000 or more inhabitants. The name of the State is
Éire, or in the english language, Ireland. The National
Holiday is March 17, St. Patrick’s Day, named after the Patron Saint
of Ireland. The English language reached Ireland during the Middle
Ages, but the first flowering of English literature in Ireland came in the
eighteenth century. |
