The people in Ireland are very friendly and helpfully. The typical Irish person has a white skin and red hair.
At the country are neighbours more than hundred meters distant from a house and the life there is very normal. Today comes many rich families from North Ireland to Ireland to built their big houses there cheap.
The old country language of Ireland is gaeltracht(=gällisch) but today people speak it not very often. Today they speak English.
