Ireland

The Celts lived all over Europe: but in the successive waves of invasions - the Romans, and after the fall of Rome a whole series of barbarians - they were driven further and further West, until the remained clinging to the edge of Europe in what is known as the Celtic fringe: Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, Brittany. The Celts lived in central Europe: northern France, part of Holland, Belgium, England, and parts of Switzerland. These lands had long been settled by the warlike Celts. Soon after 500 BC, the Celts wandered east and west in search of fertile farm land. Around 390 BC, the Celts even invaded Rome and sacked the city. It took two hundred years for the Romans to drive the Celts from Italy.

There are a huge number of wild animals that you would not find in Ireland outside of zoos. There are no large wild cats in Ireland, like lions, tigers etc. There are no bears in Ireland, no snakes, no large reptiles, no zebra, no large monkeys. The list could go on.

The harp has been used as an emblem for Ireland as far back as the 13th century. Since then it has continued to be used as an emblem by different Kings and eventually through to the modern Irish state. The design of harp used has changed in that period. The one now used is known as the Brian Boru harp, and it can be found on Irish coins and lots of official documents like passports.

no - Ireland is a very centralised unitary state

The EC (European Community) is the old name for the EU or European Union. It used to be called the European Community and before that the European Economic Community (EEC). The Republic of Ireland joined the EEC on the 1st of January, 1973 and are still members of what is now the EU.

Ireland has a wide range of physical features. Much of the centre of the country is flat, with areas of bogland. Around the coasts are where most of the mountains are found. The western part of the country is particularly rugged with lots of mountains and rocky land. The west coast has a large amount of bays and inlets and small islands. Being on the eastern edge of the Atlantic Ocean, Ireland gets a lot of rain and so it has many lakes and rivers. Another consequence of so much rain is that Ireland is very green and with lots of trees and grasslands, suitable for farming. Ireland doesn't have any really hot and dry areas of land, so there are no deserts in Ireland.

Derby, although the county council now meet in Matlock

From Rosslare to Cork city is about 122 miles or 196 kilometres.

The answer you are looking for is Dublin, but there is some important things to note. Czechoslovakia no longer exists. When it did exist, Prague was its capital, as Dublin is Ireland's capital. What was Czechoslovakia is now two separate countries. They are the Czech Republic, whose capital is Prague and Slovakia, whose capital is Bratislava. So it is more correct to say that Prague is to the Czech Republic as Dublin is to Ireland.

You will have to pay the fixed penalty fine but the DVLA cannot put points on your Irish driving licence in England.

They will keep your details on file and if you convert your Irish Licence to a UK driving licence in the period during which your points would be still active you had a UK licence all long then the points will be on your new UK licence.

In short, try and save yourself a few pounds and dont get done!

Like I have! twice in 6 months!!

But I have no points :-)

A passport isn't required to travel between the UK and Ireland regardless of your nationality. However, if you intend to fly there, you will have to produce acceptable photo ID, and a passport is the easiest way of doing that. To be absolutely certain, you should double check with the carrier that you are proposing to use.
