Countries that border Ireland
One land neighbour: the United Kingdom. It has a page of its own.
One way in
One land border, and it is the United Kingdom.
Its 1 land border is joint 10th-most in Europe — level with Denmark, the United Kingdom, Monaco, Portugal, San Marino and Vatican City. The United Kingdom is the most connected of them, with 1 land border of its own. Everything else about Ireland is coast, which makes it one of the easier shapes on the Europe board and one of the harder capitals to place — Dublin has no second neighbour to triangulate from.
