The harp is also a very important Irish symbol. In fact, it was so Irish, the British feared it would spark nationalism. Therefore, they banned all harps from the land - and executed all harp players!
The 'shamrock' is Ireland's most important symbol. Its three leaves stand for the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Ghost), linking it to St. Patrick.
Ireland, as Britain, has a lively 'pub culture'. The most famous Irish drink is Guinness, a stout beer.
Legend has it that in Ireland, at the end of a rainbow, you will find a pot of gold.
There are lots of sheep in Ireland. Irish woolen jumpers are a typical product you will find in tourist shops.
The tricolor Irish flag represents:
  • Green: the Catholics
  • Orange: the Protestants
  • White: the peace between them/ hope for unity
Catholicism is the main religion in the Republic of Ireland.
This bird is called a 'puffin'  (papegaaiduiker). You'll find them mostly on the Atlantic coast. 
The little ginger men with green clothes are called Leprechauns. They are some sort of fairy, always up to misschief!
