| | Ireland in Statistics |
| | |

With a landmass area of just over 70,000sq kilometres, Ireland is the third largest Ireland in Europe after Iceland and Great Britain. What Ireland lacks in terms of size it makes up for with passion and attitude and a newly found confidence in their country that has gone from the verge of bankruptcy to one of the richest nations in the world in under 20 years. |

With a population of just under 4 million people, Ireland is one of the least populated countries in the European Union. A lot of the recent success of the Irish economy can be attributed to their demographics and their place as the average youngest nation in Europe. While countries such as Germany have been struggling economically due to a large proportion of their population is no longer working, Ireland has benefited from having the majority of the population in the labour force. By July 2006 it is estimated that the population of Ireland will have grown to 4.06 million people. |

Geographically speaking, Ireland enjoys a cool temperate climate which ensures mild winters with warmer summers and almost continual rainfall. With natural resources such as gas, peat, lead, zinc, silver, copper, barite, limestone, dolomite and gypsum, Ireland is on the crest of an economic wave. While the future of Ireland’s prosperity is not so assured, there is no doubt that they are making the most of the ‘good times.’ |
