Abstract

The island of Ireland lies in the Atlantic Ocean separated from its neighbour Great Britain to the east by the Irish Sea. Ireland itself is divided geographically and politically, with the six northern counties forming part of the United Kingdom with Great Britain, and the remaining 26 counties constituting the territory of the Irish Republic. The Republic has a total land area of nearly 7 million hectares and a population of around 3 million people.
