Information about Ireland
Ireland is divided into two parts, the Republic of Ireland and Northern Island. Northern Island is one fith of the size of the Republic of Ireland. Northern Island is part of the United Kingdom. The largest city is Dublin.

Ireland's total area is 70,273 square kilometers, and has nearly 1500 kilometers of coastline. The gulf stream results in cool summers and mild winters. There's always plenty of cloud though!

Ireland was one of a number of european countries that signed up to the Euro, and started using it on the 1st January 2002. The country experienced a great boom period between 1997 to 2007, the Celtic Tiger. Things have since gone down hill, and recently Dublin had to accept a bailout from the EU. It's an expensive place to visit.

Ireland Surfing Info and Details
There are many great waves around the Irish coastline. The swells from the atlantic provide powerful cold water swells, especially during the winter months. Surfing here can be pretty hardcore, with some serious cold water waves.

Many of the breaks in Ireland are require access from local residents, and their goodwill will only continue if surfers respect the residents and the environment.
