Tourist Trophy

I am going to speak to you about a subject which tempted me of going to Ireland, enthusiast of motorcycle I came in Ireland by hoping to be able to see a race of the championship Tourist Trophy which is an Irish race with one final on The island of Man, unfortunately with the timetable and the examinations I did not more go there. 

So if you have the opportunity of it going to GO !

Tourist Trophy is a very spectacular race with an average in race of 200 kmh which makes the tour of the island of man.

If you're already gone give me your print !!!

                                           Advertising

This advertising poster for Guinness is surprising because we cannot see it in France for a reason of legislation because it is forbidden in France to have on a publicity for some alcohol of the characters.

The publicity here is a publicity for the beer Guinness which we can see lower right of the poster. The target it is the spectators of rugby matches because it is a publicity to support the team of Ireland.

Today the alcohol being of democratized advantage I thinks that it would be popular however as says previously she(it) would be forbidden by the law.

Irish national symbols

The clover in three leaves. The clover in three leaves represents the Holy Trinity and was used by Saint Patric to explain the Holy Trinity to the Irishmen not knowing the Catholicism. It is for it that the clover to three leaves is associated in the Irish national holiday: the holiday of Holy Patric.

Harps, notably the harp was said about Brian Boru, it's also symbol for Euro Irish

The Irish leprechaun’s sprites;

The beer stout as Guinness and the others less known: of Caffrey, Murphy or Beamish.
But the clover remains the most known.

(For your health attention on the alcohol abuse)

External regional conflicts and tensions

The Irish war for independence, war Anglo-Irish or Tan War indicates the campaign of guerrilla warfare which led the IRA against the RIC, the British army and the Black and Tan in Ireland, from January, 1919 till July, 1921.

The conflict began after the declaration of independence of the Republic of Ireland. Both camps accepted a cease-fire in July, 1921 which ends in the Anglo-Irish Treaty of December, 1921. This agreement ended the British domination on the largest part of Ireland and after a period of transition of ten months overseen by a Provisional Government, the Free State of Ireland was established.

However, six counties in the North chose to stay within the United Kingdom as Northern Ireland with their own parliament. After the cease-fire, the political violence and the nun between the republicans and the loyal supporters, and between the Catholics and the Protestants continued in Northern Ireland whereas the Free State of Ireland dived into a civil war between the partisans and the opponents of the Anglo-Irish Treaty.

Since it always exists a kind of tension between Irish of the South and the British as demonstrates it this photo taken in to the museum of the TITANIC in Belfast.
