	Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Irish scholars excelled in the study of Latin learning and Christian theology in the monasteries that flourished, preserving Latin learning during the Early Middle Ages.
		Poetry in Irish represents the oldest vernacular poetry in Europe with the earliest examples dating from the 6th century; Jonathan Swift, still often called the foremost satirist in the English language, was wildly popular in his day (Gulliver's Travels, A Modest Proposal, etc.) and remains so in modern times amongst both children and adults.
		The early history of Irish visual art is generally considered to begin with early carvings found at sites such as Newgrange and is traced through Bronze age artifacts, particularly ornamental gold objects, and the religious carvings and illuminated manuscripts of the mediæval period.

	Michael Collins (Irish leader) - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Michael Collins (October 16, 1890 – August 22, 1922), an Irish revolutionary leader, served as Minister for Finance in the Irish Republic, as a member of the Irish delegation during the Anglo-Irish Treaty negotiations, as Chairman of the Provisional Government and as Commander-in-Chief of the National Army.
		If this happened, a Boundary Commission was to be established to redraw the Irish border, which Collins expected would so reduce the size of Northern Ireland as to make it economically unviable, so forcing unity.
		Though few Irish people recognised it as their valid parliament, as the legal parliament it too needed to give approval, which it did overwhelmingly (anti-treaty members stayed away, meaning only pro-treaty members — and the four unionists elected who had never sat in Dáil Éireann — attended its meeting in January 1922).

		This introduction of an 'Irish dimension' reminded Unionists of their potential weakness but it also explored a realistic model of interdependency which reduced the importance of shibboleths about state sovereignty and allowed the antagonists to examine the conflict anew.
		Thus, the Irish Border is a crucial part of the North-South divide which cuts across both islands and Ulster Unionists are not under threat from Gaelic Ireland; they are defending the interests of Gaelic Ireland.
		However, this is a somewhat optimistic emphasis given her acknowledgement that the tenacity of the Irish language in Northern Ireland is related to the re-assertion in recent decades of nationalism, ethnic identity and political violence.

		He was possibly a random victim of loyalist murder gangs operating in the 26 Counties and his death has been the focus of a major cross-border conspiracy, involving the Irish Garda, the RUC and the British Army, to conceal the identity of his killers.
