Noahide Information - Ireland.
Ireland is a land made up of two nations – the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, which is a nation of the United Kingdom. The Irish people speak English for the most part in the 21st century of the modern era, but old Irish is still spoken in
places as well. The Irish band 'The Corrs' have a popular worldwide seller in their album 'Home' which features traditional Irish songs in the Irish language. The Irish people are rooted in celtic culture as well as Christian religion. St Patrick is the
traditional source for establishing christianity in Ireland, and legend tells that he drove all the snakes out of Ireland. Today Catholicism is the main religion in the Republic of Ireland, but in Northern Ireland protestant Christianity is particularly
strong. Throughout the 20th century there was much conflict between the Irish Repblican Army (The IRA) and the British over Irish sovereignty. The IRA were responsbile for terrorist acts in attempting to boot the British out of Northern Ireland and
reunite Ireland to the way it had functioned for centuries before the British moved in. This, by and large, has failed, with Northern Ireland remaining in the Union. The Cranberries, an Irish band, released an album called 'No Need to
Argue' back in the
1990s (which has a magnficent picture of the band sitting on a couch in a field
with a Rainbow overhead) which featured the song Zombie, which was a very popular hit worldwide condemning the hostilities between the warring parties. The capital of the
Republic of Ireland is Dublin and the capital of Northern Ireland is Belfast. The republic of Ireland is part of the European Union, and uses the Euro as its
currency. It has a population, as of 2016 of 4.7 million people. Northern Ireland, being part of
the United Kingdom, left the European Union recently with Brexit. It utilizes the pound as its currency, and has a population, as of 2011 of 1.8 million. Ireland is famous for its music, celtic melody, which has a very distinct sound
to it, with merry
jigs and reels; its dancing, and shows like Riverdance have gone on to be worldwide phenomenons; and its sarcasm. Like the Scots, Welsh and English, there is an Irish sarcasm, which can indeed come thick and fast at times. Famous Irish authors include
Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, W.B. Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, and Bram Stoker, famous for writing 'Dracula'. Modern Ireland, as of 2017, is quite a prosperous
country in current times, and after a lull in economic activity in former years
is doing quiet
well again. Famous Irish bands and artists include U2, the Corrs, Boyzone, Ronan Keating, The Cranberries, the movie band 'The Commitments', Snow Patrol, My Bloody Valentine, Westlife, The Irish Rovers and the Boomtown Rats. http://noahidebooks.angelfire.com
