After a day outside, hop into a cosy pub and enjoy some of Ireland’s food and drink - there is more to the scene than potatoes and whiskey!" Tourism Ireland

Ireland is in Northern Europe, situated in the North Atlantic Ocean. It is separated from Great Britain by the North Channel that runs along the eastern side of Ireland.
