Ireland is an island in the North Atlantic which is separated from Great Britain. Ireland is the second-largest island of the British Isles, the third-largest in Europe, and the twentieth-largest on Earth.

Ireland is divided into the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The capital of the Republic of Ireland is Dublin. However, if you ask all non-Dubliners in Ireland, the true capital city is 100% Cork. So don't be deceived.
