Useful Information About Ireland

The Island of Ireland

The island of Ireland is in fact two countries:

  • The Republic of Ireland, an independent nation state in the European Union.
  • Northern Ireland: a territory of the United Kingdom, which is not part of the European Union.

There is no hard border between the 2 countries and you will not need your passport to travel within the island. Cars drive on the left in both countries. You will however need 2 different currencies: EUROS for Ireland and POUNDS for Northern Ireland. Many establishments will take both currencies, but not all.

Our Weather

They say Ireland can experience all 4 seasons in one day. Actually, it can experience all 4 seasons at once. Make sure you always have a raincoat or an umbrella with you. And wearing layers is a good idea as temperatures can vary. Typical temperatures in the Spring and Autumn (Fall) are between 5 and 15 degrees and in Summer from 10 to 20 degrees. But you may get lucky and catch a heatwave when you’re here.

Airports

All our journeys begin in Dublin.

Ireland has 14 international airports, although only 4 of these take flights from outside Europe and the UK: Dublin, Belast, Shannon and Knock.

If you are arriving at one of the other international airports around Ireland, we can help arrange transport to Dublin.
