Best Answer

Most of Ireland's cities are on or very near the coast, giving them access to the sea. This is important for importing and exporting. Some also have sea transport, such as ferries.

Why are all Ireland's main cities around the coast?

Ireland is an island. So ports are focal points. They are key for industry, for importing, for exporting, for marine industries and so on. These are where the cities form. Ireland is not very wide, so this is different to massive countries that have cities spread all around them. Ireland does have lots of inland towns that are very large but cities form on the coast. Around the world, many large cities are on or near the coast too.

Cities in the Republic of Ireland?

It is usually based on the size and area. What might be called cities in some other countries are often just towns in Ireland. Some countries regard a place with just a few thousand people as a city, but that would not be big enough in Ireland, and it would be regarded as a town. Having a Cathedral is not always a reason either. There are towns in Ireland that have Cathedrals, but would be too small to be regarded as a city.
