THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND
The
Republic of Ireland is an independent sovereign nation. However, the
whole of Ireland was part of the United Kingdom until 1922 and all of the
Jewish communities in Ireland and many of the congregations were first
established prior to that date. Members of the Irish Jewish community still
maintain very close religious, cultural, social and family ties with the
Jewish communities in the United Kingdom. Accordingly, the communities and
congregations in the Republic of Ireland, both past and present, are
included in this website, notwithstanding the fact that they fall within an
area that is no longer part of the United Kingdom.
