 REPUBLIC OF IRELAND FACTS AND INFORMATION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
The constitution provides that the name of the state is "Éire, or, in the English language, Ireland." However the state is commonly referred to as the "Republic of Ireland" in order to distinguish it from the island of Ireland as a whole.
Today, while ''Republic of Ireland'' is an accepted term for the state, ''Ireland'' is used for official purposes such as treaties, government and legal documents and membership of international organisations.
The revolutionary state established by nationalists in 1919 was known as the "Irish Republic", while when the state achieved ''de jure'' independence in 1922 it became known as the "Irish Free State" (in the Irish language ''Saorstát Éireann''), a name that was retained until 1937.

 Irish in the Republic of Ireland
The Education Act 1998 (which amended some sections of the Intermediate Education (Ireland) 1978 and of the Vocational Education Act 1930) is the first legislation of general application on the organisation of education in the state, placing the education system at first and second level on a statutory footing.

 Slugger O'Toole: Ireland second wealthiest nation in the world?
Unless people in the Republic start realising that it is in everybody's interest to have proper supports in place to help the marginalised in society (and are prepared to pay the necessary taxes), we may end up like South Africa with the rich living safely in gated communities but also with large 'no-go' areas.
The only thing that has really changed in Ireland in the last twenty years is that consumer spending patterns now conform to that in other industrialized countries, and the high participation rate of women in the workforce means a much higher household income.
CSO figures out today show that 70,000 immigrants came to the Republic in the year up to May 2005, and these figures are likely an underestimate, owing to the exclusion from the statistics of seasonal workers and foreign-students.

The railways of Ireland, both north and south, have undergone major changes in recent years and, in both cases, have moved to the top of the political agenda in a way not seen since the 1960s.
