We've reached the land of 1/8 of my own heritage, Ireland,

様態の副詞

which means I'm probably a far-off distant cousin of our favorite Irishman:

PEADAR has helped us out with many of the animations in the past

to literally be in PEADAR'S own country's video.

Barby: Ehh too late, I've been calling you Potter for like two years now.

Peadar: And I'm here to correct him if he gets on anything wrong. So don't worry lads.

Peadar: Ah so that's how that feels like.

Ahh the Emerald Isle, Europe's rain shield, the McNugget.

Ireland is loaded with so many notable spots and regions

Barby: Hehe, and there's a town called ''Dingle''.

First of all, Ireland is the third largest island in Europe located in the North Atlantic Ocean

separated from Great Britain by the North Channel, the Irish Sea and St. George's Channel

Barby: Ehehehaha, did you notice how I deliberately avoided British Isles?

Barby: Now here is where things get a little confusing... Ireland's subdivisions...

Let's just get it over with quick and fast.

Peader: So when discussing the independent sovereign state,

most people are referring to the Republic of Ireland which makes up these 5/6 of the island and, unless mentioned otherwise,

this is the Ireland will be mostly discussing in this episode.

Barby: To this day, the last fifth Northern part of Ireland here is actually part of the UK

and it doesn't even quite know exactly what to label itself.

Peadar: Which as you can imagine has created some interesting feelings in the past with the Irish.

Barby: It's weird though because the people here can choose their own citizenship:

On the west side, the North Ireland border just juts into the farmlands ending at a small village called Manger

and provides a 7 kilometer wide quarter to the town of Bundoran

for the rest of the Republic to enter into Donegal County.

Peader: And then you have the strange pene-enclave, right across the Fin River

with only a tenth of a kilometer wide entrance,

the Ireland Grahdens is still part of Monaghan County.

This in return gave a small exclave to the UK, an unnamed patch of land with only three small farming homes.

Barby: The only way to get in besides swimming across the river would be by taking the most name switched International Road on the island,

which turns into the A3 highway once you cross into Northern Ireland,

then it switches back into the N54 once you cross into the exclave

and it reverted back to the A3 again for about two kilometers

and then back to the N54 once you cross back into the Republic of Ireland.

So literally it's like Irish, British, Irish, British, Irish!

Peadar: Or as I like to call it...my dating life!

Also, the UK was like: ''Argh, instead of following the Foyle river all the way up to the Foyle lock,

why don't we just swerve left through the Farmland to take the entire city of Derry

Basically to an Irish person, the entire island of Ireland, including Northern Ireland is just...

Barby: So if you consider the administrative divisions,

the Republic of Ireland is divided into 26 counties,

however, many also include the extra 6 from Northern Ireland and call it 32,

but then there's the two city and county councils, Limerick and Waterford,

and the three city councils: Dublin, Galway and Cork,

making 31 local authorities in the Republic of Ireland

and technically 37 again if you include Northern Ireland's counties

Barby: OK, yeah, you know. I got that right, whoo!

Peadar: Historically though, Ireland was also kind of split into four provinces that many people still refer to today.

They are Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster.

Northern Ireland is often referred to as Ulster as it encompasses most of the counties that make up the historical province.

Otherwise, the largest cities after Dublin are Cork and Limerick

with the largest airports being Dublin, Cork and Shannon airports.

Keep in mind, if Northern Ireland was included in this, Belfast would take the number two spots on each of those lists.

Peadar: In addition to being an island itself, Ireland also hosts hundreds of smaller little islands and islets.

The most populated one being Great island by Cork, Achill Island in Mayo and Gorumna and the Aran islands in Galway.

Barby: Finally some places of interest across Ireland might include places like:

the Neolithic tomb of Newgrange which is older than the pyramids of Giza

Peadar: That island that was filmed up the end of Star Wars. It's called Skellig Michael,

Tory Island which kinda has like its own king,

Scotia's grave, where an Egyptian princess is buried supposedly

the Hook Head lighthouse, the oldest continuously used lighthouse still operating in Europe.
