Irish Literature
Modern Ireland is a heterogeneous country owing to the large number of immigrants in the country and the large number of Irish men emigrating from the country.

The Gaelic period brought about a rise in the use of Irish language from a simple minority, of those who survived the famine, to one of the dominant languages in Ireland as well as increased interest in the Gaelic culture. It has also been influenced by increase in English use brought by the immigrants.
