Ireland is a place mentioned multiple times in, "A Modest Proposal". Ireland is an island in the North Atlantic, and is also a part of northwest Europe. It is the second largest of the British Isles, and is known for its' beautiful coastlines, villages, and towns. During the time of writing though, Ireland seemed to be having a failing economy, which Johnathon Swift makes light of in "A Modest Proposal".
