IRELAND

Some contributions made by the Irish to the happiness of other parts of the world are beguilingly displayed in a series of courts and halls. The dominant architectural feature of the pavilion is a modern version of the medieval towers that still stand in many places in Ireland. The whole pavilion is enclosed by a wall seven feet high, faced in Lisconnor gray stone and reddish brown marble.

Two giant maps are in the entry court. On the right is a map of the world showing areas of Irish influence during the Middle Ages, the routes of Irish military expeditions in the 17th and 18th Centuries, and the flow of emigration from Ireland to all parts of the world from the 18th to the 20th Centuries.

Headsets transmit the voices of actors reading the words of such Irish-born writers as George Bernard Shaw, James Joyce, Jonathan Swift, Oscar Wilde and William Butler Yeats. (CD8 Set 38 #25)
