Tracing your Irish Ancestry.
Campervan rental provides a great way for those with Irish heritage to tour the country. For an island as small as Ireland, with a population of just 6.4 million people, the spread of Irish emigrants is as varied as that of any other nation. Through wars and famines the Irish people have left their homes for North America, Australia and the UK amongst other new lands. It is now estimated that over 60 million people worldwide have at least one Irish grandparent, so it is not surprising that thousands of people each year fly into the country to trace their family roots.
