Answer 10

Yes Ireland is a real country and Irish is a real language which a lot of people mistakenly call Gaelic.  Click on the link below and you will see a satellite picture of Ireland, use the zoom out and you will see exactly where it is in relation to the rest of the world.

Answer 11

yes we are real just off

Answer 12

Laughing!!!

Yes, it's very much a real country. Ireland is a small country off the northwestern coast of Europe. When you look at the British Isles, you will see two different political entities... The UK and Ireland.

I can see why this question was asked, many people here (Here refers to a country other than Ireland) think I'm British when I say I'm Irish. I have to explain that Ireland is NOT part of the UK. Maybe your atlas did not explain clearly that Ireland  is separate from the UK (apart from Northern Ireland)

Yes, there are a lot of myths and legends to do with Ireland, but Ireland is far from unique in this regard. Each country has its own myths and legends.

Cheers.

Answer 13

WHOOOOOAAAA!!! hold on a minute!!

Ireland not real?? A mythical country???

does this mean that I don't really exist???

this is like something out of the sixth sense or something!!

I SEE DEAD IRISH PEOPLE!!!!

you know, I often wondered why there were unicorns in my back garden, but I guess it just never registered that I was in a mythical land....

Answer 14

It is real, as it's where leprechauns (like myself) come from, although it exists in a dimension different to our own. That's why you won't see it on any one of your 'standard' maps.

Answer 15

Phump..........Thats the sound of my jaw hitting the floor.

Pfizt... thats the sound of me tearing my hair out.....

Are you real or are you a mythical person yourself???

Surley you have heard of U2 , Bono or the Edge, where  did you think they came from.

If your atlas says middle earth i suggest you buy a more upto date version of earth.

Speaking of mythical.

Ulster scots is a mythical (i.e. the concept thats its a language) entity. Its just badly spoken badly wrote English. No entemologist would take it serious as a language. If you consider that the ionian islands of scotland are between ulster and scotland and they speek Scots gaelic.

Wikipedia is not a credible reference site seen as though any 15 year old idiot can actually add facts that people would believe to be credible. There is no peer review and the sooner this lazy insult to credible research is resigned to the grave the better.

Wikipedia answers should never be taken for credible fact. It is my lifes mission to destroy wikipedia, the lazy mans fountain of uncredible knowledge.

Answer 16

Ireland (Irish: Éire; Ulster Scots: Airlann) is the third largest island in Europe[1] and the twentieth largest in the world.[2] It lies to the northwest of Continental Europe. It is surrounded by hundreds of islands and islets. To the east of Ireland, separated by the Irish Sea, is the island of Great Britain. Politically, the Republic of Ireland (also known simply as Ireland) covers five sixths of the island, with Northern Ireland, part of the United Kingdom, covering the remainder in the northeast. The name 'Ireland' derives from Old Irish Ériu (in modern Irish, Éire) with the addition of the Germanic word 'land'. This word, from Proto-Celtic *Īwerjū, which also gave Middle Welsh Iwerd "Irish Sea", originally meant "fatness", in the sense of fertile.[3]

The population of the island is slightly under six million (2006), with 4,239,848 in the Republic of Ireland[4] (1.7 million in Greater Dublin[5]) and about 1.7 million in Northern Ireland[6] (0.6 million in Greater Belfast).[7]

Answer 17

Yes for sure its very much a real country an island just west of the united Kingdom the north part is called Northern Ireland and the south is called the Republic of Ireland.
