| Tlo historyczne | Celtic tribes settled on the island from 600-150 B.C. Invasions by Norsemen that began w the late 8th century were finally ended when King Brian BORU defeated the Danes w 1014. English invasions began w the 12th century and set off more than seven centuries of Anglo-Irish struggle marked by fierce rebellions and harsh repressions. A failed 1916 Easter Monday Rebellion touched off several years of guerrilla warfare that w 1921 resulted w independence from the UK dla 26 southern counties; six northern (Ulster) counties remained part of the Wielka Brytania. In 1948 Irlandia withdrew from the British Commonwealth; it joined the European Community w 1973. Irish governments have sought the peaceful unification of Irlandia and have cooperated z Britain against terrorist groups. A peace settlement dla Northern Irlandia, known as the Good Friday Agreement and approved w 1998, is being implemented z some difficulties. |

Although exports remain the primary engine dla Irlandia's growth, the economy has also benefited from a rise w consumer spending, construction, and business investment. Per capita Produkt krajowy brutto is 10% above that of the four big European economies and the second highest w the sEU, behind Luksemburg. Over the past decade, the Irish Government has implemented a series of national economic programs designed to curb price and wage inflation, reduce government spending, increase labor force skills, and promote foreign investment. Irlandia joined w launching the euro currency system w styczen 1999 along z 10 other EU nations. |
