Is there a difference in sunset times in London and in the west of Ireland?
Of course.
The time of sunset is when the sun goes below the horizon.
As the west of Ireland is further west than London, the sun sets later there, even though they share the same time zone.
There are 360 integral lines of longitude dividing the globe, with 0 running through London.
The sun covers these in 24 hours, so each one of these represent a time difference of 4 minutes from its neighbours.
Galway, for example, is at longitude 9º west, so the sunset there will be approximately 36 minutes later than in London.
Today - 16th February 2011
Sunset in London will be at 5:16pm Wednesday (GMT)
Sunset in Galway will be at 5:48pm Wednesday (GMT)

What type of food does Ireland eat?
From what I can recall, the potato was making a big impression in Ireland as the seventeenth century unfolded. It came to the greater population by being inadvertently washed to shore with other salvage from the ill-fated Spanish armada of 1588 and utilized accordingly. It was a staple food for the Spanish navy, who themselves had brought it to Spain from their new territories in South America. Potatoes were a welcome change from the more unsavory 'pottage' which had been the only choice of meal for the poor before this time. A diet of meat would have been the privilege of the wealthy
although many people risked their necks in poaching activities. If you happened to live on the coast there were opportunities to fish for your supper.

How do you say we missed you in Irish?
Chaill muid duit. Another incorrect translation from Google Translate.
..................................................................................................................
Think about the English sentences 'We missed you' (We felt the loss of you; were sad without you) as opposed to "We just missed you' (failed to meet).
In the first sense: Chronaigh muid thú. We noticed your absence,we missed you.
Or D'airigh muid uainn thú. We missed you, We felt the want of you.
In the second sense: Níor éirigh linn casadh leat. We missed you, failed to meet.
Caill literally mean 'lose': Don't miss (lose) the bus! is Ná caill an bus!
Google Translate seems to have the biggest problem with English-to-Irish translation. Irish is full of idiomatic constructions and doesn't lend itself to machine translation.
