Our experience is the key to your success IRELAND AND CORK IRELAND is situated on the western edge of Europe. It is an island of great beauty with rugged mountains, blue lakes, ancient castles, long sandy beaches and picturesque harbours. The climate is mild and temperate throughout the year. With a population of 4 million people, Ireland enjoys one of the cleanest environments in Europe. Its unspoilt countryside provides an excellent setting for leisure pursuits such as hiking, cycling, golfing and horse-riding. The Irish are relaxed, friendly, spontaneous, hospitable and have a great love of conversation. This is reflected in the impact the Irish have had on world literature. Ireland is renowned for writers such as Jonathan Swift, Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, as well as four Nobel Prize winners, W.B. Yeats, G.B. Shaw, Samuel Beckett and Seamus Heaney. Irish Traditional Music captures the heritage and tradition of Ireland and has made a substantial and influential contribution to world music. Contemporary groups such as U2, The Corrs, Enya, The Cranberries and many others have also taken their inspiration from Irish Music. While maintaining traditional values, Ireland has gone through a period of considerable economic growth and change in recent years. With more than half of the population under 30 years of age, the country is vibrant with energy, vitality and creativity. Despite its increasing urbanisation, Ireland has remained a safe and welcoming country.
