  Irish pound - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Irish pound (Irish: punt) was the currency of the Republic of Ireland until 1999.
By this time Irish exports to the United Kingdom (UK) were 50%, whilst imports were 47%; the Irish economy had diverged greatly since the introduction of the currency in 1928 and was less dependent on trade with the UK.
The Irish 50p was never reduced in size as it had been in the UK and this was presumably due to forthcoming replacement of the Irish Pound by the Euro.

The Irish Punt or Pound was the currency unit of the Republic of Ireland until January 1 2002.
The Irish currency came to be called the Irish Pound or in the Irish language the 'Punt'.
Irish coins introduced after 1979 (20p and £1) were of a completely different size and weight from the equivalent British coins, as were the 5p and 10p coins after both countries reduced the coins in size in the early 1990s.

The woman was Lady Hazel Lavery, an American by birth and the wife of a well-known Irish artist, Sir John Lavery.
Although Lady Lavery's image was eventually removed from Irish bank notes, she continued to be instantly recognisable as her image was to be found in the watermark of more recent banknotes.
Both British and Irish coins circulated in the Republic of Ireland, and when decimalisation was introduced in Britain in 1971, Ireland followed suit.

The Irish pound (Irish language: punt) was the currency unit of the Irish Free State, and later of the republic of Ireland until 1 January, 1999; the ISO 4217 code was IEP, and the usual notation was the prefix £ (IR£ where confusion might have arisen with Sterling).
The Irish pound, originally called the Saorstát pound ('Free State pound'), was introduced in 1928 by the Currency Commission, which was later transferred to the Central Bank of Ireland.
With a conversion factor of 0.787564 Irish pounds to the euro, fifty-six per cent of the value of Irish banknotes was withdrawn from circulation within two weeks of the introduction of euro banknotes and coins, and 83.4 per cent by the time they ceased to have legal tender status on 9 February.

The Irish Punt is a freely convertible currency that is tied to the German Mark through the European Monetary System.
As the Irish Punt is tied to the German Mark, there has been a devaluation of the dollar relative to the Irish Punt over the last five to six years.
Thus, overall, the Irish Punt is perceived to be a strong currency within the EMU at present.

 Craft Ireland - Overseas Orders Rise As Punt Falls - The Irish Craft Fashion and Giftware Trade Directory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-22)
As Ireland is one of the countries participating in the introduction of the Euro, the exchange rate of the Irish punt is directly linked to the performance of the Euro.
As a result, the punt is fairing very poorly against other foreign currencies at present.
Irish companies, which import materials from Britain, are currently under increasing pressure to increase prices, and they are likely to rise possibly as much as 10%, but for overseas buyers these increases should be more than absorbed by the favourable rates of exchange available.

Among the topics covered are ‘United Irish Images of Women’, female witnesses in the courts martial of 1798 and ‘The Women of 1798 in Folk Memory and Ballad’.
Her primary aim in publishing this work was to defend Tone’s reputation and that of the United Irishmen which was being denigrated by O’Connell as he attempted to supplant the revolutionary programme of the United Irishmen with his own reformist agenda which saw Ireland’s place as firmly within the British Empire.
