With LGA to Ireland

Ireland is an island country in Western Europe. It includes about five sixths of the island of the same name as well as a large number of smaller islands that are offshore. In the interior of the island there are mainly plains, which are surrounded by hilly areas on the outside. Ireland is often called the green island because of the many meadows and pastures. The four-leaf clover, a symbol for the Irish, is also green. Ireland is home to many well-known poets and musicians. The Limerick, a fun poem, comes from the south of Ireland. Irish music is known for wild fiddle music. The old songs are sung in English or Irish. The local cuisine is also very well known. Many dishes contain lamb or pork, eg the Irish stew.
The capital and largest city of Ireland is Dublin, located in the eastern part of the country. About a third of the 4.8 million inhabitants live in the metropolitan region.
