The history of Ireland dates back to prehistoric times, and the country's ancient heritage is still evident in many of its traditions and customs. The Celtic people, who arrived in Ireland around 500 BC, had a significant influence on the country's culture and language. The Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century brought significant changes, including the introduction of feudalism and the spread of Christianity.

Irish literature, too, has a long and distinguished history, with many famous authors such as James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, and Seamus Heaney.
Language[edit | edit source]
The Irish language, also known as Gaelic, is one of the oldest languages in Europe. Although English is the most commonly spoken language in Ireland today, Irish is still used in certain areas known as the Gaeltacht and is taught in schools throughout the country.
