Provinces Of Ireland
What to Do in Cork , Ireland : a Travellers Paradise
"Located in the South West of Ireland County Cork is the largest county in Ireland covering almost one sixteenth of the country. County Cork is located in Munster, one of the four Provinces Of Ireland and is known as Corcaigh in Gaelic. County Cork is home to such famous towns as Kinsale, Blarney, Cobh, Midelton and of course Cork City itself. The county is divided geographically into West and East Cork with West Cork in particular famed the world over for its’ spectacular scenery. Cork is known as a real gem by the hundreds of thousands of domestic and International visitors that holiday here each year. Hotels in Cork especially have built up a fine reputation for their ambience, warm friendly staff and excellent cuisine.
The local Cork people, known as Corkonians are proud of their heritage and have a passion for all things sports related especially Rugby, Gaelic football and hurling. Hurling is the fastest field game in the world and a live game is a memory any visitor will never forget. The county also boasts some of the finest golf courses in Ireland with Fota Island in particular having established an International reputation. However Cork has much more to offer visitors than just scenery and golf.
Some of our top recommendations when visiting County Cork include:
• Enjoy a relaxing day out with al the family at Fota Wildlife Park located on Fota Island. This is a great day out and the admission price is good value. Located approx. 10 miles from Cork City close to Midelton in East Cork, Fota Wildlife Park allows animals of all kinds roam free in their natural surrounds.
• Visit the town of Blarney, kiss the famous Blarney Stone and get some genuine Irish gifts at the world famous Blarney Woolen Mills
• Take a day trip to one of Europe’s foremost culinary towns, Kinsale and sample the delights of locally caught fresh seafood washed down with a pint of Murphys, Cork’s answer to Guinness.
• Relive some poignant history at the Titanic Museum exhibit in Cobh, last port of call for the ill fated Titanic. Located about 10 miles from Cork City.
• Explore the many and varied pubs in Cork City. Perhaps be lucky enough to be part of a real live traditional Irish music session that will be sure to make your holiday experience one you won’t forget!
• Unwind as you walk on any one of County Cork’s beautiful beaches and be at one with nature.
• Take a day trip to the famous Waterford Crystal factory in neighboring County Waterford and see first hand how the famous crystal is made.
• For the more adventurous why not try a bit of deep sea angling or even paint balling?
• Browse the many and varied side streets, galleries, shops and restaurants that Cork offers enjoying the local banter and “craic” Cork is famous for.
• Stay at any one of the fine Cork Hotels which can all be booked below.

What would modern Ireland be like today if there had been no Anglo-Norman invasion?**CORRECTED**?
What would Ireland be like if the Anglo-Normans never came over?
this isnt trying to be a political question, Im tryin to determine how the landscape, culture, people and provinces of Ireland would be affected.
E.g:
Would war have ensued between the various Chieftans, and this leagacy may endure until today, imagine the Ui O'Neill territioies down to Galway for example! Would provinces be deeply divided today?
Would we all be fluent in Gaelic , and imagine this would all Irish people be FLUENTLY BILINGUIAL? English and Irish?
Would the land still have a higher density of forestery, considering a huge bulk of the islands trees were felled due to the effective usage in guerrila warfare of the Irish people?
Would we have "black irish" (Spanish) people in Ireland, would the Spanish have come over? If so why?
Would Ireland be less technically developed?
Ive always thought about this since a small boy during history classes, how much of an impact has this had on our Island

Why is Ian Paisley so quick to call himself an 'Ulsterman'?
And he's always harping on about 'ulster' this and ulster' that.
Ulster is in fact a NINE county province of Ireland. Surely him recognising a 9 county province contradicts his stance that a 6 county Northern Ireland is secluded form the south.
