Hi Darragh and Albina here. Ireland is a small country in Europe. We are an island. That means we don't touch any other countries. We are learning about Spain at the moment. It touches France, Portugal and Andorra.
There is 32 counties in Ireland. Dublin is in the east. It is also the capital city. It has the biggest airport in Ireland. In Ireland we speak English. Irish is our national language and we love learning it in school. Saint Patrick is our patron saint and we celebrated his feast day on March 17th.
