History of Ireland

Yes. Ireland is an independent country and a republic, so there is no reason for it to be in the Commonwealth. That is why it left it in 1949.

Strictly speaking of method, the protestants arrived in Ireland due to an unrelated conquest by the Earl of Pembroke a few centuries earlier, causing unfortunate relations between the English and the Irish. Later, when King Henry VIII declared Protestant secession from the church of Rome, the warring between Ireland and England became a matter of protestants vs Catholics.

No. France and Ireland are two different countries, so they each have their own governments. They are both republics and have a president, but in Ireland's case, the president is head of state, not head of government, whereas France has a different system.

The Irish Potato Famine would eventually over 1.5 million Irish refugee immigrants to America. This was the first major wave of poor (and relatively unskilled) immgrants to the then-50-years-young nation. This caused a lot of tension in the Northeastern cities, where established, well-off families were remiss to begin sharing their space with droves of unfashionable, poor foreigners. Were often overcharged for horrible living conditions and underpaid for what little work they could find. Many became sick or died from diseases like Cholera - but those who ultimately survived have contributed to American culture in many lasting ways.

There was about 500,000 Irish immigrants in 1900

Ireland had a potato famine, caused by potato blight. It ran from 1845 to 1849. As a result of the dependency of people on potatoes at that time, millions died or emigrated, causing a major reduction in Ireland's population. Before the famine it was over 8 million. It still hasn't reached that level again, with the population now over 6 million.

Quite miserable really. Cromwell banned beer, inns, theatres, Christmas, sport and make-up. He basically banned everything that was fun. If people disobeyed these rules, they could be fined, put in the stocks or put in prison!

You could interpret biggest as being tallest or the one that covers the most area. The tallest building in Ireland is known as The Elysian. The building is 233 feet tall which is equivalent to 71 metres and has a pinnacle that is about 10 meters high. The largest building in Ireland is the Tesco Distribution Centre in Dublin. Its total area is 80,194 square metres (863,201 sq ft) and the building is close to one kilometre long.

Susan Boyle was born in Scotland of Irish-born parents (Co. Donegal).

There are 2 legends surrounding the Claddagh. The first one seems to be more legend than fact, but it goes like this. A great Irish Prince fell in love with a commoner in his realm. Her father was not pleased about the relationship, fearing the Prince would simply have his way with the young woman and then leave her in disgrace. The Prince wanted to prove his love and devotion to his maiden's father. So he designed a ring. The hands to represent his long held friendship with his maid and her family. The crown to represent his undying loyalty and devotion. The heart to represent his ever lasting love. The Prince traveled to the home of his maiden, and presented the ring to her in front of her father. Asking for her hand in marriage. Upon seeing the ring and hearing the proposal, the father gave his blessing and all lived happily ever after. The second legend holds more historical fact in it's story. Claddagh itself refers to a small fishing village just near Galway city. The Claddagh ring supposedly originated in this area. The original Claddagh ring is generally attributed to one Richard Joyce, of Galway. Joyce departed from Claddagh, a small fishing village where the waters of the River Corrib meet Galway Bay, on a ship enroute to the plantations of the West Indies. That week he was to was to be married, but his ship was captured by Mediterranean Algerian pirates and the crew were sold as a slaves; Richard Joyce was sold to a Moorish goldsmith who trained him in his craft. He soon became a master in his trade and hand crafted a ring for the woman at home he could not forget. In 1689 he was released after William III came to the throne of England and concluded an agreement whereby all his subjects who where held in captivity by the Moors were to be allowed return to their homes. The Moorish goldsmith offered Richard his only daughter in marriage and half his wealth if he would remain in Algiers. He declined and returned to Claddagh to find that the woman of his heart had never married. He gave her the ring and they were married and he set up a goldsmith shop in the town of Claddagh. By tradition the ring is taken to signify the wish that Love and friendship should reign supreme. The hands signify friendship, the crown loyalty, and the heart love. These rings were kept as heirlooms with great pride and passed from mother to daughter. The ring is worn extensively across Ireland, either on the right hand with the heart turned outwards showing that the wearer is "fancy free" or with the heart turned inwards to denote that he or she is "spoken for". The pride of place is on the left hand, with the heart turned in, indicating that the wearer is happily married and the love and friendship will last forever, the two never separated.

Well, Its hard to explain but not hard to do.

You have to click your heels together, while in the air.

But with your legs straight, and in front of you.

Soo put one leg straight out and jump bringing the other one forward and clicking heels.

I hope this helped.

Maybe youtube it.

A Celtic symbol for the love of a family member, like that of a father and daughter, is the Celtic Knot. A Celtic Knot is a symbol that has three intertwining knots and is shaped like a triangle.

This is the historic agreement in the Northern Ireland peace process that was signed between the British and Irish governments on 10 April 1998 - which happened to be Good Friday that year. It was also supported in a referendum and only one political party chose to oppose it. Read the full text in the Web Link to the left.

because it was hoped that it would get rid of poverty and people living on the street.

I don't know I am trying to figure that out!!

They left because of the potatoe famine, in which a blight caused potatoes to be inedible , and considering Ireland was so poor back then and the potato was the staple diet, people thought that they'd have a better life in the us. They left Ireland because of the "opportunities" united sates, because they believed that they would live alot better there.

Damock, Grendolf, Asherere, hipposaurus rex, dickonator, waffle cookie monster would be a good name for a monster because they are unique,catchy and bold. also anything that ends with ''saurus rex'' or walrus

The potato famine, which started in the mid 1840s until the early 1850s.

The history of the Titanic and Ireland begins in 1911 with the ship's construction at the Harland and Wolff Shipyards in Belfast, Northern Ireland. She was built in the Belfast shipyard alongside her sister ship, the Olympic. The White Star Line owned the ship and intended to carry trans-atlantic traffic between Europe and America.

Newspaper notices in May 1911 invited the public to view the completed liner before the launch on May 31, 1911. Leaving from Belfast, Titanic successfully completed sea trials in Belfast Lough during 1912. Hundreds of Belfast men had taken part in the construction of the luxury liner, and there were Irish passengers and crew on board during the maiden voyage.

One hundred twenty-three Irish men, women and children boarded the Titanic at Cobh, or Queenstown, County Cork. Most of them were embarking on a new life in America.

Éamon de Valera died on August 29, 1975 at the age of 92.
