How did the Economic War affect EIRE in 1932 and 1938?

I got a history exam today and I don’t know this. (quick answers, i’ve not got long ) The hardship the Economic War foisted particularly on the farming community was enormous and exacerbated class tensions in rural Ireland. In 1935, a "Coal-Cattle pact" eased the situation somewhat, whereby Britain agreed to increase its import of [...]

Is it legal to hold both a current UK passport and a current Eire passport at the same time?

The word "Eire" is only used when speaking in Irish. If speaking in English it’s Ireland, so I guess you mean an Irish passport? Just said I’d mention it as some folks are sticklers, lol. Anyway, yes, you can hold both, dual citizenship is allowed. My wife has dual citizenship, citizenship of her native country [...]

Is the voltage in Eire the same as in UK?

Do I need plug adapters? If so, can they be the same as the ones I take to Europe? Technically the voltage in the Republic of Ireland is 200 / 220v, and the UK is 220 / 240v. However, it does not make any difference with electrical appliances, once the correct fuse is in the [...]

Moved from the UK in January, prior to which I’ve always lived in UK.My fiancee has also spent the last 9 years in UK. If possible, to avoid cost, I’d prefer to obtain the affidavits in Ireland. Affidavits for what? Something to do with getting married? I don’t think that here in Ireland an affidavit [...]

What is the feeling of people in Ireland (Eire) about the inflation and the euro ?

This question is specific to irish people (or long time residents) because Eire is the only country in "Euroland" where the exchange parity between the old currency unit (punt) and the new euro is inferior to 1 (exactly 0,787564). It means that at the beginning of 2002, the nominal wages in punts had to be [...]
