About The Country
Ireland is a wonderful country. Things are a lot different there then then they are here.
Special Customs
Ireland has very a specific way of doing things. Things like how if girls legs weren't covered before they left the house then they would be in trouble. Also there heads had to be covered. Even from birth.
Things They Do
One thing Irish people like to do is dance.
Education
Irish kids didn't get a very good education. Because of that they didn't know much about what was happening around them.
Holidays
The Irish have one holiday that we all celebrate. St. Patricks Day! But no one has really heard of St. Stephens Day.
Irish Money
Its a lot more colorful than our money.
Irish Beauties
This is one of Ireland's greatest monuments.
