It's great being Irish.
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!!!

Enough of the 'everyone loves the Oirish' crap please. 100% Irish myself, and do you know what, we are no better and no worse than anyone else. Get over yourself my dear.

Viva La Eire!

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!!

you have no right to speak to lexie like that. she hs has much right to claim irish as you, and probably has a better sense of it.
you are delusional. the irish?? we let foreigners walk over us here.foriegn gangs extorting irish business?? why are you proud?? get over yourself. get real. we are the blacks of the world. everyone hates us. i have travelled all over the world. we are drunks, fighters , druggies and we have no respect for anyone. get that fact through your head. and the above person was right. new ireland me hole.
where the **** do you get off dictating who is irish and who isnt?? ya arrogant little ****!! i bet ya dont even speak irish.
we would be better off taking in diaspora from argentina and north america. the have more in common.
pathetic question.
btw im from the north west.

i wonder is it the racist remarks i hear almost weekly, or the narrow-mindedness, or possibly the way lots of Irish only see one side of a story, that I'm proud to be Irish.......oh no my mistake-----those are the reasons I'm ashamed to be associated with being Irish. just my opinion.

Of course I am. But I don't make a great big production out of it.

Kimberlee Taylor

I'm half-Irish and have lived here all my life and I'm not that pround to be Irish, I don't see what there is to be pround of.

theartofsong

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.

Grumples

I guess because we have such a laid back culture. It's nice compared to other places...

lexie

i'm totally irish too. i think it's awesome. i'm so proud of my heritage. i think everybody secretly wants to be irish! lol xD

edit: uggghhhh!? wtf!? dude, is as Ã©ire mÃ©. rÃºgadh mÃ© in eirinn, agus togadh mÃ© i mBÃC. whatever. if you're that damn ignorant, it's not worth arguing w/ya. but FYI, i got an A in my irish J/C. HL too. thanks darragh for sticking up for me there.

I am Irish and proud because of our traditions!!

herr fugelmeister

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.

because the Irish are now equal. Before they were treated like ****. so now that they have the rights of normal citizens ....thery're proud!

sunie

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

SixthDream

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

i like being irish because of all the mountains and the seas! and we are an island standing alone! i like the way we our own language our own type of music and great food! out in conemara with all the lambs! podge and rodge are gas! i love the poem/song spancil hill!
but i guess there is no point arguing wherever youre from youre proud! youve always got that bond with it and will miss it if you leave!

greenorlagh

I'm proud to be Irish because we are few but we are great!

All those Irish - Americans don't count. They are Americans!

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.
