	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.
