Ireland (Irish: Éire; Ulster Scots: Airlann) is the third largest island in Europe .[1] It lies to the northwest of Continental Europe with the island of Great Britain lying to the east. Politically it is divided into the Republic of Ireland, a sovereign state occupying five-sixths of the island, and Northern Ireland, a part of the United Kingdom, occupying the northeastern sixth of the island.[2] The name 'Ireland' derives from the name Ériu (in modern Irish, Éire) with the addition of the Germanic word 'land'.

The population of the island is slightly under six million (2006), with 4.2 million in the Republic of Ireland[3] (1.7 million in Greater Dublin[4]) and about 1.7 million in Northern Ireland[5] (0.6 million in Greater Belfast).[6]
