The document provides an overview of Irish history from the earliest inhabitants to modern times. It discusses how Ireland was originally populated by farmers and metal workers called Celts. The Vikings later invaded and their castles dotted the countryside. The population was dramatically reduced by wars and the Great Famine in the 19th century. Ireland eventually gained independence from British rule but was divided into the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. It joined the European Union in 1973 and experienced economic growth as the "Celtic Tiger" in the 1990s.
