Ireland

Ireland sits in western Europe and surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. Oregon is in North America with Western Oregon bordering the Pacific Ocean. It is approximately 4672 miles away form Ireland.

The Irish Republic uses the Euro.

Northern Ireland uses Pounds and Pence, like England, Scotland and Wales.

There is no airport in Killarney. You would have to go to another airport in Ireland and fly from there. A flight would be about 1 hour and 40 minutes. You'd then have to add the time travelling from Killarney to whichever airport you were flying from, possibly Cork or Dublin. Cork Airport is nearer to Killarney.

There are no direct flights from Dublin, Ireland to Columbia, SC. A connecting flight will take a minimum of 10 hours 45 minutes.

Ireland used to be under British rule until 1922 when it became independent, However Northern Ireland remained under British rule and will remain so until there is a majority vote in favour of an united Ireland.

The Green stripe the nationalist tradition, the Orange represents unionists and the white stripe symbolizes the peace between them. The orange colour is associated with the Protestants in Ulster and those that derived from William III who defeated the Irish Catholics at the Battle of the Boyne in the late 1600s. It was included in the Irish flag in an attempt to reconcile the Protestants with the Irish independence movement.
While it may not represent anything officially according to the constitution of the country, it is sometimes said that the green represents the Gaelic tradition of Ireland.

Dublin is on the east coast of Ireland. In terms of your question it is in what is incorrectly referred to as Southern Ireland. Officially the term is "Ireland" or in the Irish language: "Éire". You will see Éire written on Irish coins and stamps. It is sometimes also referred to as the Republic of Ireland, which is another unofficial term. Dublin is the capital city. See the map below.

I am not Irish, but I have lived there for the past year, so this answer is based on my personal experience. First of all, the Irish don't refer to speaking 'Gaelic' like the rest of the world does, they say they are speaking 'Irish'. The word for their language in Irish is 'Gaeilge' Whatever you choose to call it, there has been a revival of the language in Ireland in recent years. It is taught in the elementary and high schools; most children can speak it quite well, and most young people I know, under, say, age 30-35 can get by. (But I live in Galway, on the west coast -- I hear it's different in Dublin.) Speaking Irish is a requirement for many government jobs. On some of the islands off the west coast (the Aran Islands, for instance) you hear it spoken everywhere. There is a huge amount of national pride invested in keeping this ancestral language alive and promoting its use. I once heard an Irish-speaking poet refer to English as "the language of the oppressor" and although he was joking (sort of) this gives you some idea of the depth of feeling the language issue brings up there today.

Unfortunately, Gaelic is only the first language of the majority of the population in the so-called Gaeltacht regions which are relatively small and whose population is about 85,000 people. I live in Dublin, and it is rarely spoken here. It's taught in schools to children and a required school subject. After leaving school, many stop using it. In order to get into many programmes in university however, you do need to have passed a leaving cert in Gaelige. It is not as widely spoken as English, but neither is it dying out.

Ireland was never part of England. Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is not part of England. Great Britain is made up of England, Wales and Scotland. The United Kingdom includes Northern Ireland. The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland are on the island of Ireland, so they do not even share a border with England and have never been part of it. The Republic of Ireland is not part of the United Kingdom.

no - if your are a citizen of Ireland or the UK. Citizens of all other countries may be asked for their passports.

Ireland's two national sports are Gaelic Football and Hurling, which are unique to Ireland, though found around the world in Irish communities. Other big sports are soccer, golf, rugby, handball, horse racing, greyhound racing, snooker, tennis and boxing, amongst many others.

The national flower of Greenland is the Willow Herb.

The official record for Ireland is 42lb 12oz caught by Larry Kelly in 2005 but there was a 90.5lb pike caught on lough derg in 1862

The term goes back to when Ireland was still completely under British rule and did not have a parliament of its own, between 1801 and 1921. Home Rule was the desire by some for Ireland to have its independence and rule itself. The term is not really used now, but it would now be the concept of a united Ireland. Currently Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom.

Never, it only became part of the UK. Britain and Ireland are two completely separate islands.

If you mean the UK then, as part of the Act of Union in 1801. If you meant just Northern Ireland, then in 1922 when Northern Ireland was created and what is now known as the Republic of Ireland came into existence. It is not part of the United Kingdom.

The island of Ireland has always been a part of the British Isles, which is a geographic term, not a political one.

The free state of the Republic of Ireland has neither king nor queen.

Until May 07, 2008, the Taoiseach of Ireland, or Prime Minister, was Patrick Bartholomew (known as Bertie) Ahern. Mr Ahern resigned on May 06, 2008, and was succeeded by Mr Brian Cowen.

On Mr Cowen's resignation, he was succeeded as Taoiseach by Mr Enda Kenny, appointed by Ireland's President Mary McAleese on March 09, 2011. Mr Kenny is still currently Taoiseach of Ireland, at May 21, 2011.

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom and therefore Queen Elizabeth II is queen of that part of Ireland. The United Kingdom has no king.

Most of the population live in Dublin, the capital city.

It flys in many places in Dublin, the capital of Ireland. In many other capital cities around the world you would see, like at embassies, or where headquarters of organisations that Ireland is involved in are based, like in Brussels, the capital of Belgium and the city in which the headquarters of the European Union are.
