About
Irish Slang:
Although in Ireland they speak in English just like us their dialect is different from ours so you might not full understand them. Here are some Irish sayings:Acting the Maggot: He was Acting the maggot as usual: Acting very BAD
Eat the Head of: I will eat the head of her: To attack with words
Giving out: The teacher is always giving out to the class: To scold
Currency:
Like the rest of the EU(except for England) Ireland uses the Euro. So you can use the same currency in Ireland as the rest of Europe(except for England) which is great for a long vacation throughout Europe. The conversion rate is at about 1 U.S. dollar=0.77 Euros.
Government:
Ireland is a republic, parliamentary democracy. This is very similar to us because there are the three branches of government although they have a prime minister. Their chief of state is similar to a president except for some few minor differences and the current the current chief of state of Ireland is Micheal D. Higgens.
