Thanks to Wikipedia, a public encyclopedia.

Got the Irish terms for their government from the ever-better Wikipedia, a user created encyclopedia I recently stumbled on. It's a great idea. Any user can edit any page. No article on a topic yet? Then write one. See a typo, misspelling or other error? Correct it on the spot. Here's the entry for Ireland. And Sinn Fein means "Ourselves Alone." I didn't know that.

I really should look up the HTML-entities for the Irish characters in the Gaelic words below. Is being lazy a good excuse? Oh well, I'll fix it soon.
