		The island of Ireland, named Hibernia by the Romans, is 485km (301 miles) from North to South and 275km (171 miles) from East to West.
		Northern Ireland, capital - Belfast, also referred to controversially as the 'Six Counties', 'The North of Ireland', and 'Ulster' (the latter somewhat misleadingly as it is also the name of the historic province of Ulster encompassing three counties in the Republic as well as the six counties of Northern Ireland).
		Boxing is also an All-Ireland sport governed by the I.A.B.A. The major religions, the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of Ireland and the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, are organised on an all-island basis.

		The remaining one sixth of the island of Ireland is known as Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
		This created two states, Southern Ireland (of 26 counties) and Northern Ireland (of 6 counties), both of which were to remain part of the United Kingdom.
		The new state was unambiguously described as a republic, with the international and diplomatic functions previously vested in or exercised by the King now vested in the President of Ireland who finally became unambiguously the Irish head of state.

	Bat Conservation Ireland
		Using the Bat Conservation Trust as its benchmark organisation, Bat Conservation Ireland, will act as an umbrella body to disseminate information to each regional group, respond to public enquiries about bats through its bat Helpline, produce information and resources on these animals and organise events and surveys.
		Ireland, north and south, is one bio-geographical landmass and BCI hopes to build cross-border relations to ensure the conservation of bats is not hampered by political boundaries.
		To this end, the Northern Ireland Bat Group is represented on the Council of Bat Conservation Ireland along with representatives of bat groups from the Republic so all can work together in a truly cross-border initiative to ensure the future of Ireland's bats, north and south, is watched over and given the value it deserves.

	Travelocity.com: Destination Guides: Ireland
		Ireland is of great interest to birders primarily because of its position on the migration routes of many passerines and seabirds, which find the isle a convenient stopping point on their Atlantic journeys.
		Until recently, rural Ireland was home to large numbers of a small bird known as the corncrake (Crex crex), whose unusual cry during breeding season was a common feature of the early summer night.
		Summer is the time to head to the west of Ireland, where seaside cliffs are an ideal place for large sea bird colonies such as puffins and gannets.

		Despite the small size of the country, within the Atlantic Biogeographic Region of Europe, Ireland possesses 51% of the raised bogs and 50% of the blanket bogs of conservation importance remaining in the region.
		The formulation of a peatland conservation strategy is the accepted method in other European countries such as Northern Ireland (CNCC 1992, DOENI 1993), Switzerland (Grünnig 1994), Sweden (Löfroth 1994 and 1995), Norway (Angell-Petersen 1994), the Netherlands (Beusekom 1990) and Finland (Kaakinen and Salminen 1987).
