Best Answer

Ireland is an island. So ports are focal points. They are key for industry, for importing, for exporting, for marine industries and so on. These are where the cities form. Ireland is not very wide, so this is different to massive countries that have cities spread all around them. Ireland does have lots of inland towns that are very large but cities form on the coast. Around the world, many large cities are on or near the coast too.
