Ireland, the traditional land of saints and scholars, is today a progressive part of the European Union. Accessible by air from all major European cities, Ireland has a population of only five million people. Ireland enjoys one of the cleanest environments in Europe with a mild and temperate climate.
The Irish people retain the old values of warmth, friendliness and the importance of the family unit. We are a relaxed people, happy to share a drink, some conversation and invite you to join the craic, an Irish expression for having the time of your life.
English is an art which Irish people craft and use very naturally in the work place, at home and when socialising with friends. It is easy to understand why George Bernard Shaw said “the best English is spoken in Ireland”.
