IRELAND (continued): • Since the late 1800s, English has been Ireland’s predominant first language. However, Irish Gaelic is listed in the Constitution of Ireland as the national and first official language. About 350,000 claim to be “fluent” in the ancestral Gaelic out of the island’s total population of about 6.5 million, although about 1.7 million say they can “speak it.” Oddly enough, the second most widely-spoken language in Ireland is Polish.

• One might think that Ireland’s national symbol would be the familiar shamrock, but it’s actually the harp, making Ireland the only country with a musical instrument as its national symbol. Dublin’s Trinity College houses the oldest harp known to exist, dating back to at least 1300. • Althone, Ireland is home to the world’s oldest pub, Sean’s Pub, dating back to 900 AD. Built on the banks of the Shannon River by an innkeeper who guided travelers across the river, there are records of every owner since its establishment. During a 1970 renovation, old coins were found within the walls dating back to the ninth century. • Dublin, the capital of the Republic of Ireland, was founded by the Vikings in the year 988.
