#Ireland During the Bronze Age, Irish goldsmiths mastered a technique called gold foil stamping, where they hammered gold into ultra-thin sheets (sometimes less than 0.1mm thick) and stamped them onto wooden or leather objects to create intricate designs. This rare skill, seen in artifacts like the Mold Cape-inspired pieces, was so advanced that it rivals modern gold leaf techniques and was unique to Ireland in Western Europe at the time.

#Ireland - No taxation without representation Peter Lalor was an Irish-born leader instrumental in the Eureka Stockade rebellion of 1854 in Australia. He championed the term no taxation without representation. Lalor and the miners believed that being taxed without having a voice in government was a form of tyranny.

Almost 100 years ago he opened an assembly plant in Co Cork, which in peak times employed 7,000 workers, making Ford by far the largest employer in Ireland. The plant was open for some 70 years until the 1980s when its production was moved to another Ford facility in England.
