Two comments:

1) In both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, they drive on the left side of the road (right hand side driver position in the cars as opposed to left hand side driver position in the car for the US) as they do in England.

2) The Republic of Ireland is a separate country, Northern Ireland is part of the UK. The currency is pounds in Northern Ireland and Euros in the Republic of Ireland.

2) Despite what is taught in US schools, Ireland is not part of the UK in any way. It is a separate country.
