Ireland is so green because of the weather.. it's rained every day this summer! I don't know many people with green eyes, but make have green faces  the morning after a heavy nights drinking

check out wikipedia for the history of the flag... it's too much to type about here..

people associate Ireland with the colour green , because of saint Patrick... he used a shamrock ( our national flower/symbol- and which many mistake for a 4 leaf clover, ) which has 3 petals, and he used this to explain the holy trinity to the people he spoke to about christianity on his travels around Ireland...
