well, I thought Ireland was part of Europe.

You are right, but Turkey is not.

Isn't it?

"Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye), known officially as the Republic of Turkey
(Türkiye Cumhuriyeti (help·info)), is a Eurasian country that stretches
across the Anatolian peninsula in southwest Asia and the Balkan region of
southeastern Europe."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey

Eurasia is an immense landmass covering about 53,990,000 km² (or about
10.6%) of the Earth's surface. Often reckoned as a single continent, Eurasia
comprises the traditional continents of Europe and Asia, concepts which date
back to classical antiquity and the borders for which are somewhat
arbitrary.
