Answer 2

I dont know if the question is really worded right why would a person be proud of a country... have respect for it fair enough  show respect  for the country where your parents are from.. I am sure no one would be ashamed to say what country they are from ..not every country is perfect anyone living in Ireland knows  that they look at it from a political view tourist see a different Ireland where they  are on holidays having fun meeting lots of new and yes friendly people  I was in New york recently and found the people very friendly and helpful  there....and no one has the right to tell people what it feels like to be part of another culture

Answer 3

If I were Irish I sure would be proud of it.

Answer 4

i am nowhere near irish but if i was i would be proud of the music. traditional irish music, instruments and lyrics get to the gut everytime.

Answer 5

i'm not proud to be irish, i'm proud to be me! who happens to be irish. anyway why should i be proud of a country that allows a foreign country to hitch a ride on the tail coat of its successes.  nobel laureates for literature, art poetry physics movie making acting ect.  funny how britain claims half our success just because james joyce may have took a dump in london.

Answer 6

im Irish, always have been and always will be, im from Dublin and to be honest, im not proud to be Irish, im not embarrassed about it either, i dont see the point in being proud of where you were born, its not a personal accomplishment, its like being proud of having skin or being able to inhale by yourself!!

We are a friendly race with fantastic traditions. We are just a lovable nation and have a great outlook in life...plus everyone else who has Irish heritage is proud....I am a full-whack Mrs Paddy lol!!!

Answer 24

I think you are the plastic paddy! How dare you dictate who is Irish and who is not. I'm a third generation New Zealander with 7 of 8 great grandparents from Ireland. We have grown up with a strong Irish traditions and have had the history drummed into us. You are lucky to still be there my ancestors left because they would either have been killed by the English - IRA or were starving!!!! So go away with being proud of being Irish. Sounds to me like you don't know the meaning of being truely Irish.
