The image of Ireland being a lush, green island dotted with thatched cottages and with a pub full of fiddlers and locals spouting poetry at every turn holds some truth. Rural areas of Ireland, especially in the Republic, retain a strong country innocence while city life is vibrant rather than frantic. Holidays in Ireland can be very relaxed indeed. Well-maintained historical buildings, a strong tradition of live music and a deserved reputation for storytelling enhance the country’s Celtic heritage. The Irish people generally retain a relaxed easy-going attitude that is congenial but also forward thinking. Both the Republic and Northern Ireland work hard to promote a modern outlook particularly in the context of today’s European Union.
