About our Republic of Ireland news

Latest news on Ireland (Éire), providing comprehensive coverage of politics, economy, housing crisis, EU developments, Anglo-Irish relations, cultural events, and stories from across the Republic.

Ireland, a dynamic nation of 5.2 million people, stands as one of Europe's most prosperous economies, with Dublin serving as a major tech hub hosting multinational corporations like Google, Meta, and Apple. Under Taoiseach Simon Harris's leadership, the country faces significant domestic challenges while maintaining its influential position within the European Union.

Current issues dominating Irish news include the ongoing housing crisis, with property prices and rents reaching record levels in major cities. The government's 'Housing for All' strategy aims to deliver 40,000 new homes annually. Healthcare reform continues through the Sláintecare programme, while discussions about Irish unity have gained prominence following Brexit's impact on Northern Ireland. Environmental initiatives toward achieving Ireland's ambitious climate targets, including offshore wind development, remain key priorities.

Irish culture continues to flourish globally, from literature and music to film and sports. The GAA's hurling and Gaelic football championships draw massive crowds nationwide, while Irish rugby's international success has brought national pride. Traditional music sessions in local pubs, festivals like Electric Picnic, and cultural celebrations such as St Patrick's Day showcase Ireland's vibrant arts scene. The Irish language (Gaelige) revival efforts persist, particularly in Gaeltacht regions.

The country's transformation from one of Europe's poorest nations to a modern, prosperous society reflects decades of economic development since joining the European Economic Community in 1973. The Celtic Tiger era, subsequent 2008 financial crisis, and robust recovery have shaped modern Ireland. The success of the Northern Ireland peace process and evolution of relations with Britain following Brexit represent significant diplomatic achievements.

Our NewsNow feed delivers comprehensive coverage from trusted Irish sources, ensuring readers stay informed about political developments, economic news, and cultural events across the Republic. Whether you're interested in business opportunities, policy developments, or simply keeping up with Irish life, our feed provides essential updates on this dynamic European nation.
