The
people of Ireland are known to be very hospitable and friendly in
nature. Having a family life is considered of great importance in
Ireland. The traditional ways of the Irish people can be seen more
commonly in the rural areas of Ireland. Here, a lot of traditional
customs are followed which is quite a contrast to the modern life that
is led in the urban areas of Ireland. Ireland also has a large number
of people who own their own palatial residences.
The modern
Irish follow a more open method of communication. They believe in
displaying their affection rather than curbing the same. English still
remains to be the most spoken language today, due to the influence of
the Elizabethan rule over the nation in the past. The native Gaelic
dialect is still spoken by a large number of people of Ireland as a
second language. The language was introduced by the Celts and many
senior citizens can be found speaking in the traditional Irish tongue
as their first language.
The homes in Ireland still follow the
same rules and are built in a similar fashion, as was the pattern of
the olden days. Bright and cheerful colors can be seen splashed on the
walls of most homes with colorful doors. Homes of Ireland are generally
terrace houses with the central heating system having replaced the
traditional fireplace.
