caption_attribution_description: English: Image of the dedication plaque commemorating the opening of the Island of Ireland Peace Park on 11 November 1998. It stands on a granite pillar inside the entrance gate. It is one of four similar plaques on pillars, the others are in the Irish, Flemish and France languages.
context_page_description: In Ireland, the date is written in the order "day month year", with the separator as a stroke, dot, hyphen, or just left blank. The year may be written with four digits or just the final two, sometimes with an apostrophe to mark the omitted first two digits.
  Examples:
  31/12/92
  31.12.'92
  31-12-1992
  31 12 92
  31 December 1992 is also used, or in Irish, 31 Nollaig 1992. When dates are spoken, they are generally given in "day month year" order: "the 31st of December 1992", or sometimes in "month day year": "December the 31st 1992". Ordinal indicators may also be used. In Irish, these are 1ᵈ, 2ᵃ, with all subsequent digits followed by -ú.
  Weeks are generally referred to by the date on which they start, with Monday often treated as the first day of the week, for example "the week commencing 10 August", although some calendars give Sunday as the first day of the week.
