    The Celts
    The first Celts arrived in Ireland in 700 BC.
    They brought with them a totally different
    new culture, languages, art, technology and
    belief’s.
    They used iron to make tools and weapons (the Iron
    Age) but more importantly they brought the sense of
    kingship, kingdoms and power. They divided their lands
    up with each being ruled by different kings.
    It was the aristocracy who fought in battle. Peasants
    and people of a lower class didn´t fight in battle, but
    stayed on their farms and acted as slaves for their King.

    Independence. The Irish Republican Army (IRA)
    wanted to force the British out of Ireland.
    In 1921, treaty talks took place in London to try to
    find a way of ending the war. In December 1921, a
    treaty was signed which soon brought about a new
    country called the Irish Free State. It was decided
    that the new state would be made up of twenty-six of
    the thirty-two Irish counties.
    Ireland was divided into two parts with a border in
    between.
    Six counties remained under the rule of England. This
    area became known as Northern Ireland and today it is
    still part of the United Kingdom.
    In 1948, the Irish Free State broke its remaining ties
    with Britain and became a Republic.

    Friday of Easter week in 1998
