The Republic of Ireland is a member of the European Union located in Northern Europe, bordering the Northern Ireland territory of the UK. It is one of the world’s most developed countries with its GDP per capita and Human Development Index ranking top three globally. Disputes along the border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland have escalated since Brexit was enacted. Even though the UK eventually decided not to build a physical border wall, the conflict is ongoing regarding “unification of Ireland.” With great enthusiasm for cultural preservation, revitalization of the Irish language is the largest and longest-lasting movement in Europe.
