Cobh – you must see this place

It really worths a visit to the museum each time I visit Cobh. I never get bored reading about the social, cultural and maritime history of the Great Island and Cobh. In advance I used to book my hours to spend in the genealogical reference section at the museum.

Last week I went to visit Cobh which is the ideal place for an unforgotten holiday and to have a more of an authentic Irish experience. I found out about Great Island Car Rentals Ireland which made it easy for me to enjoy the beauty of the famous county without having the worries where to keep my car safely.

    Ireland

    Ireland is the third largest island, after Great Britain and Iceland in Europe and is situated in the northwest. The Irish Sea separated Ireland from the Great Britain to its east.

    In 1919 Ireland became republic and the ‘Anglo-Irish Treaty’ allowed the ‘Irish Free State’ in 1922. Ireland got its independence but not totally since the Northern Ireland still belongs to the British.

    In the northeast is found – Northern Ireland - which is almost one-sixth of Ireland. While Ireland covers approximately a population of 4.6 million, Northern Ireland counted around 1.4 million of inhabitants.

    Language

    Irish (Gaeilge) is a Goidelic language (from the Indo-European language family) and is an official language of the European Union. Nowadays, very small minority of the population speak the irish language but it, still plays a symbolic and important role in the state, such as in any social situations, personal contexts and in a variety of media.

    There are also several other languages spoken in the island. After English and Irish, Polish is the third most popular spoken language and then followed Chinese and Iranian.
