Country Details Inhabited for almost 7,000 years, Ireland is an historic island nation, located on the eastern edge of the North Atlantic Ocean, directly west of the United Kingdom. Over many centuries this land has experienced a number of incursions and invasions, resulting in a rich mixture of ancestry, culture and tradition. It's known worldwide for fine linen, lace, china, glassware, along with many ales and spirits. In this land of green (the home of Saint Patrick and the Shamrock), all visitors are welcome. The Ireland pages are currently being revised, but you can find additional information about the country Quick Facts and Figures Official Name Ireland Population 3,968,000 Capital City Dublin (1.1 million) Flag Latitude/Longitude 53° 00'N, 8° 00'W Languages Irish, English Official Currency: the Euro, details Currency Converter Religions Catholic, others Land Area 68,890 sq km (26,598 sq miles) Landforms Ireland consists of a central plain surrounded by numerous hills, ridges and a few coastal mountains. The highest point rises to 3,414 ft. (1,041m) at Macgillicuddy's Reeks. The mountainous ridges of the south consist of red sandstone, separated by river valleys. Elsewhere granite predominates, except in the northeast where the land is covered by a low basalt plateau. The central limestone plain contains glacial deposits of clay and sand. It's separated by low hills, and features large areas of bogs and dozens of small lakes (loughs). The irregular western coastline is rocky and steep. Island groups include the Aran and Blasket. The River Shannon, the longest river in the British Isles, is the country's most significant body of water. Numerous small rivers slope down to the coastal areas from the central highlands.
