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.

The airport at Carrickfinn in Donegal was voted the 2nd most scenic airport in the world in 2017.​
