The new English settlers of the 1600's were horrified by the presence of the wolf in Ireland, as there were none in England. It was as though this was a symbol of the savagery of their new country. They would eventually succeed in their mission and with exception to captive wolves, there are none wild in Ireland today.

Greetings from Ireland! Welcome to my channel, launched this month December 2021; that is dedicated to the history and culture of Ireland. This is not set out to be a history lesson, but a ramble through some stories you might find interesting about Ireland from an Irishman! So if you fancy some tales about horsemen and highwaymen, banshee's and fairies, soldiers and rebels, legends and folklore, saints and scholars, please like and subscribe, I post once per month. Thank you for watching. Ronan.
