The Republic of Ireland (Eire) is an island to the west of Europe, member of the European Union since 1973.

This isle is divided between the Republic of Ireland (where I am and is part of Europe) and the Northern Ireland (is part of UK). The Republic of Ireland has 26 counties and Northern Ireland has 6 counties. 

The Population of Republic of Ireland is approximately 4.6 million (2013), including more than 500,000 in Dublin (2011).

National language is English but they also speak Gaelic in small villages of the west coast. That's why we can see the two languages showing on the signboard.
