TI 104 Elements of the Geography of Ireland Lectures: Kieran Hickey Theme 1 Geology of Ireland. Introduction If you examine a map of the surface geology of Ireland, you can see that the country is made up of many different types of rocks of different ages and origins. The question is how did all these pieces of rock of different ages come together to form the island of Ireland?. Oldest rocks found in Ireland are gneisses found just south of Rosslare, Co.Wexford, also Ox Mountains. These rocks are estimated to be 2,400 million years old. Five key rock types. How Ireland was formed

The Geography of Ireland General Background Celtic tribes settled on the island in the 4th century B.C. Invasions by Norsemen that began in the late 8th century were finally ended when King Brian BORU defeated the Danes in 1014. English invasions began in the 12th century and set off more than seven centuries of Anglo-Irish struggle marked by fierce rebellions and harsh repressions. A failed 1916 Easter Monday Rebellion touched off several years of guerrilla warfare that in 1921 resulted in independence from the UK for 26 southern counties; six northern (Ulster) counties remained part of the United Kingdom. In 1948 Ireland withdrew from the British Commonwealth; it joined the European Community in 1973. Irish governments have sought the peaceful unification of Ireland and have cooperated with Britain against terrorist groups. A peace settlement for Northern Ireland, known as the Good Friday Agreement and approved in 1998, is currently being implemented. Location Western Europe, occupying five-sixths of the island of Ireland in the North Atlantic Ocean, west of Great Britain Area total: 70,280 sq km

93. O'Connor's Travel - Geography Of Ireland The geography of ireland is extraordinarily varied over such a small territory. The West and North West are characterized by the rugged silvergrey Granite http://www.oconnors.com/info/info-geography.cfm

Geography Another striking feature of Ireland's geography is the extent of peat bog - which covers nearly a fifth of the entire country. These bogs often present very dramatic landscapes, with strangely shaped trees standing amongst multi-toned patterns of brown and purple. The turf, a legacy of the rapid warming of the country following the last Ice Age, is still widely worked. The lack of forest cover in Ireland is also immediately noticeable. Although Ireland's sparse woodlands cover just 6% of the land compared to Germany, for example, where forest cover is nearly 25%, primeval forests can still be found, consisting of ancient oak and the great Scots Pine. Most forests are more recent, mainly of Sitka spruce. Ireland's greatest length is 485 km (302 miles) and it is 304 km (189 miles) at its widest point. Ireland's has 5,631 km (3,500 mi.) of coastline, so indented that you are never more than 70 miles from the sea. Add to this the 800 lakes and rivers of inland Ireland and you can be fairly certain of being in sight of some body of water anywhere in Ireland! The highest mountain is Carrantuohill (1,040 metres/3'414 feet), near Killarney in County Kerry.

Fun Facts Search Ireland Now The Geography of the Island Climate Geography Enviroment Flora The island of Ireland is situated in the extreme north-west of Europe between 51.5 and 55.5 degrees north latitude and between 5.5 and 10.5 degrees west longitude. The Irish Sea to the east, which separates Ireland from Britain, is from 17.6 to 192 km (11 to 120 miles) wide and has a maximum depth of about 200 metres (650 feet). Around the other coasts the shallow waters of the Continental Shelf are rather narrow and depths increase rapidly into the Atlantic Ocean. The Republic of Ireland covers 70,282 sq. km (27,136 sq.mi.) and consists of Munster, Leinster, Connacht and three counties of Ulster, making a total of 26 counties governed by The Republic. Northern Ireland is only 5,500 square miles in area - about the size of Yorkshire or Connecticut - and is made up of the remaining 6 counties of Ulster. The island comprises a large central lowland of limestone with a relief of hills surrounded by a discontinuous border of coastal mountains which vary greatly in geological structure.

Article 17 January 2002 'Today it's just pure naked bigotry' Dr Pete Shirlow, author of a headline-grabbing report on Northern Ireland's 'geography of fear', talks about the relationship between cultural diversity and sectarian divisions. by Brendan O'Neill The new year images from Holy Cross Catholic primary school in north Belfast sent shockwaves around the world. With Catholic schoolgirls crying as their parents tried to protect them from stone-throwing Protestants, with all-night rioting between Catholic estates and Protestant estates, and as loyalist paramilitaries kick off 2002 by labelling Catholic schoolteachers 'legitimate targets' and killing a postman, peace looks impossible. So what is going on? 'All we know is that the peace process was meant to bring peace, but all we see is more division than ever before', says Dr Pete Shirlow. 'And some people can't get their heads around that.' Shirlow may be a previously unheard-of geography lecturer at the University of Ulster in Coleraine, but he stopped the press at the beginning of January 2002 with his research into Northern Ireland's 'geography of fear'. 'Peace but no love as divide grows ever wider' screamed the newspaper headlines, as Shirlow presented his findings on how 'segregation in Belfast has worsened since the peace process began' to the Royal Geographical Society in Belfast on 5 January 2002. 'I think my study made a big impact because it found shocking things', says Shirlow. 'Because people expect a peace process to be a happy story, not a horror story.'
