Ireland and babies
Ireland is a great small little country known for their beatiful landscapes and its famous pubs. Ireland is a small country not known for being weathy but known for its people. Unfortnutly Ireland does not have that many children. In fact from 2018 to 2020 it has decreased in an obvious amount which is concernig because its only been two years. Ireland is also begining to gray out which is going to put a huge stress on the community. The projections get even worse. 2018 every family had nearly 4 kids. Now they have about 3. Its projected that every family will have about two kids in 2030. 4 to 2 might seem like a small difference but it is not small at all espcially in this small of a country. According to Trading Economics women in the workforce keeps getting higher and higher. About 46% of women in Ireland or in the workforce. Yet again seems small but keep in mind that Ireland has a small population of about 4 million. The last couple years multiple polices have been placed to improve women care(specifics in link below). Migration rates are getting lower in Ireland because un employment rates are getting higher and higher (due to COVID-19 we might see an even larger increase) and one day Ireland is going to need help. The first thing the goverment of Ireland did was prioritize safe countries to allow immigrants to come in from. Another policy is if both parents to a newborn are not Irish born the newborn is not immeaditly a Irish citizen. Ireland also tried to create more low-skilled level jobs.

Unit Three
Landscape can really effect the language diffusion of a religion or culture. If your landscape and climate are very difficult to get in and out of. Then the spread of ideas is limited which decreases many types of diffusion one of them being language diffusion.
Using geographical maps you can see how religion can diffuse and spread. By looking at the map you can see what areas have the religion's culture and traditions.
Push Factors of Ireland

The Legal System of Ireland is a common Law System similar to the English System modified by a law; Judicial review of legislative acts by the Supreme court.
Goverment and Politics are a huge part a country. Escpially for bigger countries like America and China. One of the most important branches of goverment is the Executive branch. Ireland's Executive branch consist of a Chief of state, head of Goverment, the Cabinet, and a President.
chief of state: President Michael D. HIGGINS (since 11 November 2011)
head of government: Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Micheál MARTIN (since 27 June 2020); note - MARTIN will serve through December 2022 and will then be succeeded by Leo VARADKAR

Another crucial branch of Goverment is the Legislative Branch.

Senate or Seanad Eireann (60 seats; 43 members indirectly elected from 5 vocational panels of nominees by an electoral college consisting of members from the House of Representatives, outgoing Senate members, and city and county council members, 11 appointed by the prime minister, and 6 elected by 2 university constituencies - 3 each from the University of Dublin (Trinity College) and the National University of Ireland)
House of Representatives or Dail Eireann (158 seats; members directly elected in multi-seat constituencies by proportional representation vote; all Parliament members serve 5-year terms)
elections:
Senate - last held in April and May 2016 (next to be held no later than 2021)
House of Representatives - last held on 8 February 2020 (next to be held no later than 2025)

last but not least is the Judicial Branch.
highest courts: Supreme Court of Ireland (consists of the chief justice, 9 judges, 2 ex-officio members - the presidents of the High Court and Court of Appeal - and organized in 3-, 5-, or 7-judge panels, depending on the importance or complexity of an issue of law)
judge selection and term of office: judges nominated by the prime minister and Cabinet and appointed by the president; chief justice serves in the position for 7 years; judges can serve until age 70
subordinate courts: High Court, Court of Appeal; circuit and district courts; criminal courts
In the most recent election we got a a female vice-president but what about Ireland. Ireland has a 20.1% to 23.9%. women in Govermental seats. That is not bad if we look at most of the world including the United States.
