Litreture and art of ireland.

• For a comparatively small country, Ireland has
  made a disproportionate contribution to world
  literature in all its branches, in both the Irish
  and English languages. The island's most
  widely-known literary works are undoubtedly in
  English.
• Particularly famous examples of such works are
  those of James Joyce, Bram Stoker, Jonathan
  Swift, Oscar Wilde and Ireland's four winners of
  the Nobel Prize for Literature William Butler
  Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, Samuel Beckett and
  Seamus Heaney.

Litreture and art of ireland

• The early history of Irish visual art is
  generally considered to begin with early carvings
  found at sites such as Newgrange and is traced
  through Bronze age artefacts, particularly
  ornamental gold objects, and the Celtic brooches
  and illuminated manuscripts of the "Insular"
  Early Medieval period. During the course of the
  19th and 20th centuries, a strong indigenous
  tradition of painting emerged, including such
  figures as John Butler Yeats, William Orpen, Jack
  Yeats and Louis le Brocquy.

Languages spoken in ireland..

• Irish and English are the most widely spoken
  languages in Ireland. English is the most widely
  spoken language on the island overall, and Irish
  is spoken as a first language only by a small
  minority, primarily, though not exclusively, in
  the government-defined Gaeltacht regions.

Food and drinks of ireland..

• FOOD IN EARLY IRELAND..
• There are many references to food and drink in
  early Irish literature. Honey seems to have been
  widely eaten and used in the making of mead. The
  old stories also contain many references to
  banquets, although these may well be greatly
  exaggerated and provide little insight into
  everyday diet. There are also many references to
  fulacht fia, which are archaeological sites
  commonly believed to have once been used for
  cooking venison. The fulacht fia have holes or
  troughs in the ground which can be filled with
  water. Meat can then be cooked by placing hot
  stones in the trough until the water boils. Many
  fulach fia sites have been identified across the
  island of Ireland, and some of them appear to
  have been in use up to the 17th century.
