Satellite image of Ireland Ireland IRE -ləndIrish : Éire [ˈeːɾʲə] ⓘ Ulster-Scots : Airlann [ˈɑːrlən] North Atlantic Ocean , in north-western Europe . It is separated from Great Britain to its east by the North Channel , the Irish Sea , and St George's Channel . Ireland is the second-largest island of the British Isles , the third-largest in Europe, and the twentieth-largest in the world.
Geopolitically, the island of Ireland is divided between the Republic of Ireland (officially named Ireland ), an independent state covering five-sixths of the island, and Northern Ireland , which is part of the United Kingdom . As of 2022, the population of the entire island is just over 7 million, with 5.1 million living in the Republic of Ireland and 1.9 million in Northern Ireland, ranking it the second-most populous island in Europe after Great Britain.
The geography of Ireland comprises relatively low-lying mountains surrounding a central plain, with several navigable rivers extending inland. Its lush vegetation is a product of its mild but changeable climate which is free of extremes in temperature. Much of Ireland was woodland until the end of the Middle Ages . Today, woodland makes up about 10% of the island, compared with a European average of over 33%, with most of it being non-native conifer plantations. The Irish climate is influenced by the Atlantic Ocean and thus very moderate, and winters are milder than expected for such a northerly area, although summers are cooler than those in continental Europe. Rainfall and cloud cover are abundant. (Full article...
Gaelic football (Irish : Peil , Peil Ghaelach , or Caid ), commonly referred to as "football ", "Gaelic ", or "Gah " is a form of football played mainly in Ireland . It is, together with hurling , one of the two most popular spectator sports in Ireland today.
Gaelic football is played by teams of 15 on a rectangular grass pitch with H-shaped goals at each end. The primary object is to score by kicking/striking the ball with your hand and getting it through the goals. The team with the highest score at the end of the match wins.
Players advance the ball up the field with a combination of carrying, soloing (dropping and then toe-kicking the ball upward into the hands), kicking, and hand-passing to their team-mates.
Football is one of four Gaelic games run by the Gaelic Athletic Association , the largest sporting organization in Ireland. It has strict rules on player amateurism and the pinnacle of the sport is the inter-county All-Ireland Football Final . The game is believed to have descended from ancient Irish football known as caid which dates back to medieval times, although the modern rules were not set down until 1887. Read more...

The shamrock , a symbol of the whole of Ireland and a registered trademark of the Republic of Ireland , is a three-leafed old white clover , sometimes (rarely nowadays) Trifolium repens Irish as seamair bhán ) but more usually today Trifolium dubium Irish : seamair bhuí ). The diminutive version of the Irish word for "clover" ("seamair ") is "seamaróg ", which was anglicised as "shamrock", representing a close approximation of the original Gaelic pronunciation. However, other three-leafed plants — such as black medic (Medicago lupulina ), red clover (Trifolium pratense ), and Common wood sorrel (genus Oxalis medical properties and was a popular motif in Victorian times. It is also a common way to represent St. Patrick's Day , a holiday celebrated on March 17th. Shamrocks are said to bring good luck.. Read more...
William Parsons, 3rd Earl of Rosse KP (June 17, 1800 – October 31, 1867) was born in Monkstown , County Cork and was an Irish astronomer . He was the sixteenth Chancellor of Trinity College, Dublin between 1862 and 1867. He became the third Earl of Rosse when his father died in 1841. Prior to this, his title was "Lord Oxmantown".
In the 1840s, he built his "Leviathan of Parsonstown " 72-inch (183-cm) telescope at Birr, Ireland (then called "Parsonstown") in County Offaly , which was for many decades the largest telescope in the world. He had to invent many of the techniques he used in constructing this telescope, both because its size was without precedent and because earlier telescope builders had guarded their secrets or had simply failed to publish their methods. Rosse's telescope was considered a marvelous technical and architectural achievement, and images of it were circulated widely within the British commonwealth. Building of the telescope had to be suspended during the Great Irish Famine , but in 1847 it was put into service. Read more...

How you can improve Ireland-related articles on Wikipedia
The main Dublin article needs to achieve featured status .
Every locality needs at least a 500-character stub article, built on top of its framework article.
All areas of historic importance need substantial articles.
The article on the Mahon Tribunal needs to be tidied up, verified, and fact-checked.
Irish (Gaelic) words and phrases should be marked up using {{ lang }} , thus: {{lang-ga|Páirc na hÉireann}}.
