What do you think of us irish people ??

Question

many people expect us irish to be drunk,loud and very funny people.and some people actually believe that there is leprechans living in ireland,well there isnt lol. but do you think of us irish ??

Answer 1

Before going to Ireland, that's what I thought. I thought Irish are people who are drunk all the time and all their life is about beer. Oh I miss Ireland so much. I studied in Dublin for three years and I realized that I was wrong. I stayed in Shankill in the first year, what a lovely area. Dublin is just amazing, I haven't been there since 2003, wonder how it changed! No matter how things change, I know that the people won't. So kind, so generous and so helpful. My three years in Ireland were amazing. Whenever I get the chance, I will visit Dublin again for sure.

Answer 2

hmm...some of my dearest friends in the world are irish, in galway...that said-

witty, very sarcastic, very fun, understanding. hardworking but not afraid to have a good time.

a titch on the racist side, that one was interesting to learn, but i attribute it to people of varied ethnicities/colors only RECENTLY coming to ireland (i heard some terms used in galway pubs that are far from pc and very retro in the states)...interesting thing. not meant as an insult at all, and certainly the irish will not be starting the kkk anytime soon, but attitudes towards immigrants, travelers, etc are very interesting.

Answer 3

i love irish people. my dads from ireland and he pretty much sticks to his circle of irish friends here in america. i find that they are a very loyal group of people, whenever anything unfotunate happens to someone in the irish community here in the city people are always having benefits and helping out financially. they are always up for a laugh, and i enjoy listening and learning from them. think they are great craic--yeah they drink but most of them are not drunks, they just like to be social so they all go to pubs. i mean not everyone is perfect there are still people who are over the top, arrogant, annoying, etc. but the ones im familiar with are great! =)

Answer 6

I think you're the friendliest nation in the world! funny and so welcoming!

Answer 7

I lived in Ireland for 14 years,while living there I found the Irish in general to be a friendly bunch of people,but then again I am a little biased as my husband and children are all Irish.

Answer 8

Actually you Irish are a hard workin bunch !!

As immigrants into the US you proved to stand the test of time!

And even as recently Ireland was in a pretty bad slump for a while. Well you seemed to get yourself out of that and from what I understand your economy is lookin pretty darn good !!

Here's to the good that the Irish have helped to do as their part in the world...

I love ye! Moving to Ireland was the best thing I ever did in my life and ye Irish made me happier than I've ever been!

Answer 15

Answer 16

My Wife who has put up with me for 36 years so far is 1st generation Irish American.

My late Father in Law was the hardest working and generous man I ever met.

My late Mother in Law was a sweet heart a true Saint on earth.

Now my brothers & sisters (3 of each) in laws that's another story, but then again there were born here so they're more American then Irish.

Answer 17

I"m Irish. So I luv Irish people.

Answer 18

Well, I think Irish people are just like everybody else really.  And now that the British government in Northern Ireland is making a real effort at Catholic Economic Integration, the Republic and the North are becoming more alike every day.  I know Ireland as a country that has a lot of agriculture and horseracing and a growing high-tech job field.

Answer 19

We are very proud of ourselfs no matter what anyone else says :)
