Ireland is an island to the west of Europe. It is a little smaller than Portugal and a little bigger than Sri Lanka. It is- washed by the Atlantic Ocean in the east, and the Irish sea in the west.

The island is divided in two parts. The larger part, the Republic of Ireland, is in the south, with the population about 3.5 million people. Its capital is Dublin. The smaller part, Northern Ireland, belongs to the United Kingdom, and its big city is Belfast. There are about 1.6 million people in the North Ireland.

Ireland is a small country, but a lot of people in the world know about it.

Ireland has never been a very rich country. It is not rich in money, but it is very rich in other things — in music, in poetry, in song.

Ireland is a beautiful country, with fine lakes, tall mountains and attractive beaches. It has several rivers. One, the Liffey, flows into the sea on the east coast. The other, the Shannon, flows into the sea on the west coast. It is a very green country. Because it is so green, people call it the "Emerald Isle".
