History
•  During  the last glacial  period , and up  until  about 10,000 BC, 
most of Ireland was periodically covered in ice. Sea 
levels were  lower  and Ireland, like Great  Britainformed  part 
of continental Europe. By 16,000 BC, rising sea levels due to 
ice melting caused Ireland to become separated from Great 
Britain.  Lateraround  6000 BC, Great Britain itself  became  
separated from continental Europe. The earliest evidence of 
human presence in Ireland is dated at 10,500 BC, 
demonstrated by a butchered  bear  bone  found  in a cave in 
County  Clare. It is not until about  8000  BC, however, that 
more sustained occupation of the  island  has been shown, 
with evidence for Mesolithic communities around the 
island. These Mesolithic communities lived as hunter-
gatherers across the island until about 4000 BC.
Name
• The name Ireland derives from Old 
Irish Eriu. This in turn  comes  from 
the  Proto -Celtic Iveriu, which is also 
the source of 
Latin HiberniaIveriu derives from a 
root  meaning 'fat, prosperous'.
Economy
• Despite the two jurisdictions using two 
distinct  currencies, a  growing  amount of 
commercial activity is carried out on an all-
Ireland basis. This has been facilitated by the 
two jurisdictions' shared  membership  of 
the European Union, and  there  have been 
calls from members of the business 
community and policymakers for the  creation  
of an "all-Ireland economy" to take advantage 
of  economies  of scale and  boost  
competitiveness

Politically it is divided into a sovereign state, the Republic of Ireland, that covers about five-sixths of the island (south, east, west and north-west), and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, covering the northeastern sixth of the island.[1] The name 'Ireland' derives from the name Ériu (in modern Irish, Éire) with the addition of the Germanic word 'land'.

Irish history

Irish History Tallinn 2009 Ireland is the third-largest island in Europe, and the twentieth-largest island in the world. It lies to the north-west of continental Europe and is surrounded by hundreds of islands and islets. To the east of Ireland, separated by the Irish Sea, is the island of Great Britain. Politically, the state Ireland (described as the Republic of Ireland) covers five-sixths of the island, with Northern Ireland, part of the United Kingdom, covering the remainder in the north-east. The first settlements in Ireland date from 8000 BC. By 200 BC Celtic migration and influence had come to dominate the island. Relatively small scale settlement by both the Vikings and Normans in the Middle Ages gave way to complete English domination by the 1600s. Protestant English rule resulted in the marginalisation of the Catholic majority, although in the north-east, Protestants were in the majority

Prehistory, Saxon invasion and Celtic Kingdoms

That lead to a crisis which made the Celtic church to retreat. The Saxon church gave the kings more power and the Kings helped the church to grow. The church also established monasteries which trained men who could read and write. That led to making laws and writing down important matters. The Vikings ­ At the end of 8th century Viking started to raid England. They came from Denmark and Norway and raided monasteries and churches in Ireland and in the east, north and west coasts. London was raided in 842. In 865 they started to settle in Britain. They quickly accepted Christianity and didn't disturb the local population. King Alfred was strong enough to win an important battle against the Vikings and they made a treaty which gave the Viking north and east of England. Rest of the country Alfred was recognised as king.
