The Republic of Ireland is located on an island at the westernmost edge of Europe. It shares its only land border with Northern Ireland, part of the United Kingdom. The island is surrounded by oceans on three sides: the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Celtic Sea to the south, and the Irish Sea to the east, separating it from the United Kingdom.
The island of Ireland is split into 4 provinces: Ulster, Leinster, Munster, and Connacht. Northern Island comprises 6 counties in the province of Ulster, whereas The Republic of Ireland comprises 26 counties across all 4 provinces. The history and the way of life of these counties have been shaped by Vikings, Normans, English and Welsh, who came to Ireland at different times in Irish history. Each country has its unique identity, and the differences are celebrated through various festivals, cultural, and sporting events held throughout the year.
