In Ireland it is 12:59 on Tue 16th Mar 2010
 
In Ireland we take our sport very seriously. All in all, the Irish are very active people, and contrary to popular belief, we do not spend ALL of our time down the pub. In fact, in recent years, Ireland has been very successful internationally in a variety of sports. In fact, for an island of just 5 million, the results that the Irish sports men and women have achieved are truly remarkable. Especially in the last 25 years, the Irish have been at the centre of many great sporting moments.
