In a sympathetic, yet objective and unromantic manner, this book explains the basic facts, circumstances and implications of the culture and history of Ireland. Separate chapters deal with the geography, history, politics, economic issues and the language. In effect, it serves as a primer for business people, students and anyone else with a general interest in the country. The book is also uniquely designed to meet the needs of the practical traveller. The author shows how to make the most of a limited stay by prioritising one's goals and organising tours by themes. Concentrating on the Republic of Ireland, he describes the major attractions but also gives important advice on important matters such as food, accommodation and transport.
