Ireland is the third largest island in Europe and is itself surrounded by approximately 80 islands of significant size, of which only about 20 are inhabited. There are hundreds of other smaller islets dotted around the Irish coast, throughout the Irish Sea on the eastern coast and in the Atlantic Ocean to the south, west and north. Achill Island in Co. Mayo is Ireland's largest island. There are a few sites mapping exactly where each of the main Islands are located see: www.maps.ie/irelands-islands.htm or www.irelandsislands.com

Yes, the population of London in England is greater than the entire population of Ireland.

* Religion. Henry VIII converted from Catholic to Protestant, causing the Irish living in 'The Pale' to change from Catholic to Protestant. This basically created a large problem - a division in the people. * The connection between Ireland and England goes way back into the time of the Celts and before the Roman invasion. Back in those days, Ireland, England and Scotland were basically separete countries. The big problem with Ireland and England these days is that the Irish have generations of resenting the English for taking over their country and ruling them, whereas the English consider Ireland just a part of their conquered countries. So while the current issue is religion, the real problem goes much deeper. Take a look at some of the historic movies and/or novels that have been created around this subject to learn more.

Dublin's official date of establishment was in 988 A.D. although evidence of it's existence dates back to the second century in which it was named Eblana. Norman Vikings were the first settlers of the city, and many artefacts, old walls and buildings have been uncovered on the first site, Wood Quay, in the present City Centre. The town was captured in the 9th century by the Danes. The rebellious Irish wrested control of Dublin from the Danes on a number of occasions during the next three centuries, notably in 1052,1075, and 1124. In 1171 the Danes were expelled by the Anglo-Normans, led by Henry II, king of England. The rest is history... Hope that helps, John
