August 2013 saw the closure of the only shop in the village where bread and small goods were sold.

With only 4 houses in the village and an aging population the number of inhabitants has dropped since 2007 and now stands at no more than 11 people.

Irechek also has a problem with wild dogs which are not owned and live in the fields trying to find food, water and shelter.

On weekends and bank Holidays Irechek and the surrounding area is a prime hunting ground for small birds.

The land around the village is mostly flat and fertile,[1] with agriculture employing most of the inhabitants who produce fruits and vegetables.
