May the Irish hills caress you, may her lakes and rivers bless you,
may the luck of the Irish enfold you,
may the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you. (Irish Blessing)

Ireland is an island located in the North Atlantic Ocean at the North Western edge of Europe. Specifically, the Island is surrounded by 4 distinct bodies of water, the Atlantic Ocean to the North West, The Irish Sea to the East, St. George's Channel to the South East and the Celtic Sea to the South. The Island lies West of the United Kingdom and does not directly border Europe.
Ireland is the 3rd largest island in Europe and the 20th largest on Earth. It has a surface area of 70,273 square kilometres which is roughly the size of New Brunswick, yet houses a population of just over 4 million compared to New Brunswick's approximately 750,000 residents. Clearly Ireland (65 people per square kilometre) is more dense than New Brunswick (10.5 people/square km) or Canada (3.7 people/square km), but far from the high density of a country like China (142 people/square km).
