Ireland is an island in the North Atlantic. It is separated from Great Britain to its east by the North Channel, the Irish Sea, and St George's Channel. Ireland is the third-largest island in Europe.

Since 1922, Ireland has been politically divided between the Republic of Ireland (officially named Ireland), which covers approximately five-sixths of the island, and Northern Ireland in the north-east of the island, which remains part of the United Kingdom.

Role in Coronation Street[]

Barmaid Concepta Riley was born in Castleblayney in 1926 before moving to Weatherfield. After marrying Harry Hewitt in 1961, the Hewitts moved to Castleblayney in 1964, with Concepta believing the cleaner air in Ireland would benefit their young son Christopher. Harry's daughter Lucille remained in Weatherfield to sit her exams. Concepta married Sean Regan in 1972, and Lucille moved to Ireland to live with Concepta, Sean and Christopher in 1974.

Carmel Finnan was born and raised in Ireland. She returned there under the care of her maternal grandfather John in March 1993 after causing trouble for the Platt family due to her 'bunny boiler' obsession with Martin.

The Connor family originate from Ireland.
