 Battle of the Boyne Information Guide
The Battle of the Boyne was a controversial military clash between the deposed King James II and his son-in-law and successor, William III, for the English, Scottish and Irish thrones. It took place on July 1, 1690 (as a consequence of the adoption of the Gregorian calendar the battle is now commemorated on July 12) just outside of the town of Drogheda on Ireland's east coast. Though a minor military skirmish in reality, its symbolic importance has made it one of the most infamous battles in British and Irish history and a key part in Protestant and Catholic folklore.

 Celtic Tiger Information and Guide
The "Celtic Tiger" is a nickname for the Republic of Ireland, referring to that country's rapid economic growth during the 1990s. Many economists credit Ireland's low taxation and business-friendly regulation policies as responsible for much of the growth. A more sceptical intrepretation is that much of the growth was due to the fact that the economy of Ireland had lagged the rest of northwestern Europe for so long that it had become the one of last sources of a relatively large, relatively low-wage labour pool left in that region of the world. Ireland's membership of the European Union since 1973 has helped the country gain access to markets that previously it had to access through the United Kingdom, and provided subsidies and investment capital. IDA Ireland attracted a variety of high profile companies to Ireland. Visit this site to find out MORE...,

It establishes an independent state based on a system of representative democracy, and guarantees certain fundamental rights.

 Easter Rising Information and Guide
The Easter Rising (Irish: Éirí Amach na Casca) was an unsuccessful rebellion staged in Ireland against British rule on Easter Monday in April 1916. The rebellion marked the most famous attempt by militant republicans to seize control of Ireland and force independence from the United Kingdom. The Irish Republican revolutionary attempt occurred from April 24 to April 30, 1916, in which a part of the Irish Volunteers led by school teacher and barrister Padraig Pearse and the smaller Irish Citizen Army of James Connolly seized key locations in Dublin and proclaimed an Irish Republic independent of Britain. The event is seen as an key point on the road to Irish independence, though it marked a split between republicanism and mainstream Irish nationalism, which had hitherto accepted a promise of limited autonomy under the British crown, enshrined in the Third Home Rule Act, which had been enacted in 1914, but suspended for the duration of World War I.

 History of Ireland Information and Guide
What little is known of pre-Christian Ireland comes from a few references in Roman writings, Irish poetry and myth, and archaeology. The earliest inhabitants, people of a mid-Stone Age, or Mesolithic, culture, arrived sometime after 8000 BC, when the climate had become more hospitable following the retreat of the polar icecaps. About three or four millennia later, agriculture was introduced from the continent, leading to the establishment of a high Neolithic culture, characterised by the appearance of huge stone monuments, many of them astronomically aligned. This culture apparently prospered, and the island became more densely populated. The Bronze Age, which began around 2500 BC, saw the production of elaborate gold and bronze ornaments and weapons. See the Early history of Ireland for a fuller treatment of this period of Irish history. Visit this site to find out MORE...,

 Irish_Free_State Information and Guide
The Irish Free State (Irish language:, Saorstát Éireann) was (1922–1937) the name of the state comprising the 26 of Ireland's 32 counties which were separated from the United Kingdom under the Irish Free State Agreement (or Anglo-Irish Treaty) signed by British and Irish Republic representatives in London on December 6, 1921. The Irish Free State came into being in December 1922, replacing two co-existing but nominally rival states, the de jure Southern Ireland, which had been created by the Government of Ireland Act 1920 and which from January 1922 had been governed by a Provisional Government under Michael Collins and the de facto Irish Republic under the President of Dáil Éireann, Arthur Griffith, which had been created by Dáil Éireann in 1919. (In August 1922, both states in effect merged with the deaths of their leaders; both posts came to be held simultaneously by W.T. Cosgrave.) Visit this site to find out MORE...,

 Irish_nationalist Information and Guide
An Irish nationalist is generally one who seeks (greater) independence of Ireland from Great Britain or a United Ireland. In the 19th century most "nationalists" were in favour of Home Rule - an Irish parliament within the United Kingdom. Following the defeat of Charles Stewart Parnell and the Gaelic Revival, physical force republicanism became increasingly important and, after the Easter Rising of 1916, became the dominant force in Irish nationalism.
