The Irish pound (English) or punt Éireannach (Irish) was the currency of the Republic of Ireland until 2002. Its ISO 4217 code was 'IEP', and the usual notation was the prefix '£' (or 'IR£' where confusion might have arisen with the pound sterling or other pounds). The Irish pound was superseded by the euro on 1 January 1999, when the Irish pound legally became a subdivision of the euro; actual euro currency did not begin circulation until the beginning of 2002.

Days like those give you the strength to carry on that extra mile. As you may know, we at PAWS depend totally on the public to help us to keep our doors open to abandoned and abused animals. The National Lottery have thus far ignored pleas from Animal Welfare groups to grant aid our work and the Dept of Agriculture very kindly give a small grant each year to rescue centers Sadly, however, this covers only a minute portion of the running costs, which ran to over 300 thousand euro last year. The rest is made up from flag days, fundraisers and donations. We, at PAWS now find ourselves under serious pressure. Our biggest <b>...</b>
