Ireland was an island off the northwestern coast of the European continent on Earth. Its capital city was called Dublin.
Ireland was also the name of a country on this island. The island was divided for some time, with the north-east being held by Old Britain. In 2024, Ireland was reunited as a result of violence used as a political instrument. This event became known as the Irish Unification of 2024. (TNG: "The High Ground") Ireland's flag was three vertical bands of green, white, and orange. (ENT: "First Flight")
In the late 20th century, Ireland was a founding member of the European Space Agency. (ENT: "First Flight")
In 2151 the students of the Worley Elementary School in the Irish town of Kenmare sent Captain Jonathan Archer and his crew aboard Enterprise NX-01 letters with questions about day to day life and operations on the ship. (ENT: "Breaking the Ice")
Miles O'Brien was born in Ireland in 2328. His family lived in Dublin when O'Brien served aboard Deep Space 9. (DS9: "Homefront") O'Brien claimed to be a descendant of the Irish king Brian Boru. (DS9: "Bar Association")
