Ireland

Template:Country Ireland (Republic of Ireland) is a member state of the European Union but with only partial participation in the Schengen Agreement. The recent and inevitable economic downturn has made the people a bit more accommodating and brotherly again. However, Ireland remains an expensive country. Dublin is the capital city and main point of ferry and flight entry. The two main languages spoken in Ireland are Irish and English. Irish is a minority but official language, whilst everyone can speak English.
