Answer 4

You get to blame the English for everything.  Just joking - I'm English and I like the Irish.

Answer 8

I've found that when you say you're from Ireland, everyone likes you, particularly the French. Of course, you have to be telling the truth ....

Answer 9

To repeat what has been said before: Everyone loves us! And don't forget that St Patricks day belongs to us :)

Answer 10

we do not love the english. ireland rocks cos dar is no where else dat has such a great mix of new nd old....

Answer 11

I would prefer to be Irish living in America.

I love being Irish, and Irish people but I think Dublin where I live sucks.

O'Connell St. is a joke.....I hate the way people think building up is an 'eye sore'. Irish people can be narrow minded and ignorant and overstate their importance.

I'm sorry but this is how I feel, as I mentioned I love being Irish, but a lot of people have very narrow minds.

Answer 12

as a 1st generation American,(my folks came here from Ireland) I'm not only proud of how wonderful most Irish are, but also their resilience and perseverance. the Irish in america were once hated, stereotyped, and heavily discriminated against, but they never gave up and they built this country. nothing could ever keep them down and they rose above it all. so i think it's the Irish attitude in life that always impressed me the most, and i've always been very proud to be Irish.

Answer 13

We have a very high class of living and our economy is still booming despite the recent job losses.

Answer 14

Yeah you get to blame England for everything and get away with it! :o)

The fact that everyone loves us is great aswell though! (Except everyone wanting to be us is bad!)

Answer 15

it used to be great to be irish but now it means nothing...

as everyone says they're irish even if they have only lived there 5 minutes

Answer 16

Well, my favorite band is The Corrs. I've been playing there music since then especially Irish folk songs or instrumentals like Erin shore, Lunasa, Haste to the wedding, Old hag and toss the feathers etc. And so as the people, I think that they are kind and happy people. I know how to sing Buchaill on Eirne? (I hope that's right)
