Emerald Isle
Dublin's verdant nation
Emerald Isle is a poetic name for Ireland, referring to the country's lush green landscape, kept verdant by frequent rainfall.
The term appears in tourism, literature, and Irish-American nostalgia: My grandparents came from the Emerald Isle.
It evokes romantic notions of the countryside rather than modern urban Ireland.
