Ireland
Éire, also known as the Republic of Ireland (Poblacht na hÉireann), is a Catholic country in northwestern Europe. It occupies about five-sixths of the island of Ireland. In the 1800s there was a famine in Ireland, and as a result, large numbers of people left the country and moved to the United States. The northern part of the island of Ireland is called Northern Ireland and is part of the United Kingdom.
