1. Game Of Thrones employs more locals than the civil service.

2. Chinese (Mandarin) is the most widely spoken minority language in Northern Ireland.

3. Technically, it’s illegal to go to the cinema on a Sunday.  The Sunday Observation Act claims you can be fined up to £50.

4. There’s an annual bog snorkelling competition. Seriously.

5. Ballygally Castle is said to be haunted by the ghost of Lady Isobel Shaw who was supposedly locked in her room and starved by her husband until she jumped out of her window to death. The ghost knocks on doors at night and then disappears, creepy!

6. On average, it rains 157 days a year in Belfast, that’s less than Scotland.

7. The Marketing of Potatoes Act (1964) states that: “A constable may seize and may detain in custody any potatoes which are being or which are suspected by such an officer or constable of being, sent out of Northern Ireland” – yes, this law is still in place, so don’t get packing them in your suitcase alongside your other bizarre items.

8. Belfast Zoo is home to the only group of purple-faced langurs in Europe – all the more reason to visit.

It's Luisa. I will share some data of the economy of North Ireland.

Economy

The Northern Ireland economy is the smallest of the four economies that make up the United Kingdom. Northern Ireland has traditionally had an industrial economy, especially in shipbuilding, and the manufacture of ropes and textiles, but the strongest industry has been replaced by services, mainly those in the public sector. More recently, the economy has benefited from large investments by large multinational corporations in the high-tech industry. These large organizations are attracted by government subsidies and skilled labor in Northern Ireland.

North Ireland Flag

unofficial flag of a unit of the United Kingdom, flown subordinate to the Unión Jack, that consists of a white field (background) bearing a central red cross with a white six-pointed star, a red hand, and a gold crown.

The island of Ireland was historically divided into four provinces, the northernmost of which was Ulster. The Ulstercoat of arms, which included a red cross, supposedly was used by earls from the de Burgh family centuries ago. The inescutcheon (small central shield) of the Ulster coat of arms bore a red right hand, the symbol of the O’Neill (Uí Néill) family since the mid-17th century, although myth attributes the symbol to King Heremon O’Neill in 1015 bc. In 1924 the inescutcheon was redesigned as a six-pointed star, presumably referring to the six Ulster counties (out of nine) that now form North Ireland.  The imperial crown was placed over the star to show the loyalty of North Ireland to the United Kingdom.

The Giant's Causeway, situated on the North East coast of Northern Ireland, is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic eruption.Most of the basalt columns are hexagonal in shape.Famous Irish breweries include Guinness, Smithwicks (Kilkenny), and Harp Lager.

IT IS almost a year since riots hit the streets of Belfast last December. They were caused by a motion to limit the number of days Britain's Union Jack flag flew on Belfast City Hall. Severe rioting lasted for two months and seemed to centre on the tricky question of why Northern Ireland, composed of six north-eastern counties in Ireland, is part of the United Kingdom. The Northern Irish have their own flags, culture and international sports teams, but do not live in an independent country. Why?

Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801. But Ireland's sectarian divisions, which had opened up during religious wars in the 17th century between Protestants and Catholics, were exacerbated by economic problems in the 19th century. Britain's shift to free trade from the 1840s onwards mainly benefited the industrial north-east of Ulster, where Protestants made up a majority of the population. But the rest of the country, which was more reliant on agriculture, suffered badly from falling global food prices and the Irish Famine of 1845-50. The result was the rise of Irish nationalist movements, drawing much of their support from the Catholic south, which wanted a new Irish Parliament and to re-introduce protectionist measures. When William Gladstone, then Britain's prime minister, proposed Irish legislative independence (called Home Rule) in 1885, the north-east exploded with sectarian rioting against his proposals. Ulster Protestants feared that "Home Rule means Rome Rule", thinking they would lose the religious and economic freedoms they enjoyed as part of the United Kingdom by becoming a minority in a mainly Catholic Ireland. When the rest of Ireland gained independence as the "Irish Free State" in 1922, north-east Ulster did not want to join them. The British government was forced to partition the six most north-eastern counties of the new Irish state to form Northern Ireland, in fear that Protestant civil unrest in Ulster would otherwise turn into a civil war against the new state.

Northern Ireland has since witnessed severe sectarian violence between its Protestant majority and its Catholic minority, particularly during the "Troubles" of 1968-98. The Good Friday Agreement, signed in 1998 sought to end that. The Republic dropped its claim to the North and London declared the status of Northern Ireland would be determined by wishes of its people. The deal was broadly a success, but friction has continued sporadically since then. Yet most people in Northern Ireland still seem to want to remain part of the United Kingdom. A BBC poll earlier this year suggested that just 17% of people in Northern Ireland want to leave the United Kingdom. Economic reasons may partly explain this. The Northern Irish economy has outperformed the rest of Ireland since 2007 and living costs are lower than in the south. According to a study last year by CEBR, an economic consultancy, Northern Ireland enjoys a net subsidy of 29.4% of its GDP each year from Britain, resulting in a better welfare state than in the south. While health care in the north is free under the NHS, a trip to the doctor costs most people up to €75 ($100) south of the border. Northern Ireland's (selective) grammar schools are highly regarded, though some of its other schools are bad.

The greatest threat to Northern Ireland's place in the United Kingdom now comes from outside Ireland rather than within it. If Scotland votes for independence in a referendum due to be held in September 2014, what would happen to Northern Ireland? Its historic ties are to Scotland more than to England or Wales, but Scottish nationalists have thus far shown no interest in inheriting the province from the United Kingdom. Scottish independence might yet make Northern Ireland's constitutional status a touchy subject again.
