Ireland

There are quite a number of towns on or near the border. These would include Dundalk, Newry, Aughnacloy, Lifford, Strabane, Belleek, Bellcoo, Crossmaglen and many others.

If you think about it, castles took a lot of time (years), effort and money to build, so there would have to be a good reason to place them 'correctly'. (I'm assuming you're not referring to the quick, simple motte and bailey castles which were made of wood and built quickly (although often they were the where the later stone castle was built).

A castle existed for two main reasons.

1. At first, it needed to control the surrounding countryside. Therefore, it housed a small army (or was able to feed and water one). So it was often sited on a hill, by a river, or with easy access to a main highway.

2. It was for protection of the lord (and his family) in areas where other, powerful forces could attack. The peasantry had few weapons and were no real threat. But tribes living over the border (Scots!?) could be a threat, hence the need for protection or to act as a base for counter-raids.

A third reason developed out of the first two. As things became quieter, so the castle became an economic center. A town grew up around it and it grew and grew.

Of course, there is also the fact that a sufficiently rich lord could build a castle simply to show how powerful and wonderful he was, but that is really the same as reason 1: the need for control.

Yes there is a sea cave in Ireland and you can turn into a mermaid there just like Eva

Anything to do with the hospitality industry, like restaurants and pubs. Cinemas open too, as do many other places of entertainment. There are some major sporting venues open, with some big sports events on. Some shops will be open. There are always a lot of people in the big towns and cities and lots of tourists, so it is a good day to be open.

Ireland is on the eastern side of the Atlantic Ocean. It could be said to be surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, but the bodies of water around Ireland's coast, do have individual names and are regarded as seas. These would include the Irish Sea, the Celtic Sea, the North Channel and St. David's Channel.

Depending on traffic, it could be done in about 2 hours and 15 minutes.

The Atlantic Ocean is to the west of Ireland and the Irish Sea is to the east. However there are other seas around Ireland. St. George's Channel and The North Channel are at either end of the Irish Sea, and the Celtic Sea is part of the Atlantic, just south of Ireland.

Most probably because of the 1916 rising and events leading up to this, whereby the Irish rebels fought against the British rule and brought independence to Ireland.

I don't have an answer to this question but I would also like to know if is legal to bring Kava root in to the country? I hear that it has been made illegal in England but there is a movement to have this overturned. Wondering if it has been included in the recent 'Head Shop' legislation

***Turns out it is illegal and has been for a number of years - girl in health shop who told me said it was a shame. U never know might be legalised under regulation at some stage.

Yes. There are many castles in Ireland, all around the country. Some are derelict and some are in very condition with people living in them or being used for other purposes, like as tourist attractions or hotels. Some of the more well known ones include Blarney Castle, Bunratty Castle, Dublin Castle and Kilkenny Castle.

An Irish president, the head of state can serve two terms of seven years each. The leader of the Irish government is a separate position. The official title is Taoiseach. A general election must be held in Ireland at least every 5 years. After an election the Taoiseach is chosen. The same Taoiseach could be chosen again, so there is no limit as to how long a Taoiseach can serve.

The first time he went to Ireland was against his will, as he was kidnapped and was brought to Ireland to be a slave. While there, he found that the Irish people did not know about Christianity. After escaping from Ireland, he later felt a calling to go back to Ireland and preach Christianity to the people of Ireland.
