At last- a helping hand for Irish pubs
The traditional Irish pub is to receive a much needed shot in the arm from the Irish government amid fears it may have been heading for extinction.
More than a thousand pubs have closed in Ireland over the last six years. There have been a number of factors that have contributed to this trend.
Irish nurses bring their sporting culture to the UK
A group of Irish nurses working in England have decided to keep in touch with their traditional culture by setting up a Gaelic football team.
The economic downturn in Ireland has driven many key workers, including nurses, to emigrate to the UK and other countries including the US, Canada and Australia.
The surge in emigration over the last few years means there are about 150 Irish nurses now working at the Royal Berkshire hospital, Reading.
Irish film star Liam Neeson may convert to Islam
Irish Hollywood star Liam Neeson says he is considering converting to Islam.
Neeson was raised a Catholic and is named after a priest in Ireland. He has played iconic roles throughout his career including the Irish revolutionary Michael Collins, and he famously played a cleric in the film Cal.
He’s also starred in a string of Hollywood blockbusters such as Batman, Star Wars and Schindler’s List.

Romance of Ireland

I’m from Maryland. Silver Spring, Maryland to be exact. I wouldn’t necessarily say that it’s Lonely Planet’s most sought after tourist attraction that draws millions of crowds yearly or creates the latest buzz on the Travel Channel’s Twitter feeds. It’s simply a metropolitan area outside of Washington, DC with your average high schools, acre of green grass, houses with chimneys and families with dogs. I know, quite a whirlwind of a life, isn’t it?
