2. Geographic location

• Ireland is an island in Northwestern Europe in the
north Atlantic Ocean. The island lies on the
European continental shelf, part of the Eurasian
Plate. The island's main geographical features
include low central plains surrounded by coastal
mountains. The highest peak is Carrauntoohil
(Irish: Corrán Tuathail), which is 1,041 metres
(3,415 ft) above sea level. The western coastline is
rugged, with many islands, peninsulas, headlands
and bays. The island is bisected by the River
Shannon, which at 360.5 km (224 mi) with a 102.1
km (63 mi) estuary is the longest river in Ireland
and flows south from County Cavan in Ulster to
meet the Atlantic just south of Limerick. There
are a number of sizeable lakes along Ireland's
rivers, of which Lough Neagh is the largest.

shares with most of northwest
Europe. The country receives generally
cool summers and mild winters. It is
considerably warmer than other areas on
its latitude, because it lies in the
northeastern Atlantic Ocean, and as a
result is warmed by the North Atlantic
Current all year.

from systems used elsewhere in the United
Kingdom, although it is relatively similar
to Wales. A child's age on 1 July determines
the point of entry into the relevant stage of
education, unlike England and Wales where it
is 1 September. Northern Ireland's results at
GCSE and A-Level are consistently top in
the UK. At A-Level and BTEC level 3, one
third of students in Northern
Ireland achieved A and distinction grades in
2007, which is a higher proportion than
in England and Wales.
