Ireland

Ireland is a small country with a population of just four million people. It is easily accessible from all major European cities and is less than one hour by air from London.
The country has a rich history of learning and culture which dates back many hundreds of years to the time when monks were writing and illustrating beautiful manuscripts, including the Book of Kells. In more recent times, world famous writers such as W.B. Yeats, Sean O'Casey, George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, James Joyce and Samuel Beckett have added to the wealth of Irish literature.
The music of U2, Enya, the Corrs and Westlife is known world-wide and our traditional musical heritage continues in the music of The Chieftans and The Dubliners.
