I think we may have had an few Irish members on the forum.....but the couple of Canadians scared them off....j/k.....

No paddy jokes coming from me....When I was born on St. Patricks Day, my parents gladly gave me the name Daniel Patrick Hill.....

...When my grandfather was still living in New Orleans, he was a member of the New Orleans Irish Club....I was even a Marshal for the City's Parade one year on St. Paddy's Day.....cool stuff.....and I don't care what anyone else says.....even if you just have a little bit of Irish blood in you, you can party with the best of them ;)

is irish/scottish italian good enough because if so i'm on here too

I'm an all-American mutt.

Dad's Side: Irish, Scottish, Welsh, German, Blackfoot Native American

Mom's Side: Irish, Scottish, Welsh, French, German

:D

I'm an American Mutt too lol. I'm mainly Irish and German, but I'm also Polish. Red hair, bright green eyes, a whopping 5.5' tall.....you can say I'm Irish:cool:

not Irish here, but I was in Ireland last summer for about 2 weeks..
a fun time, nice place

Newfoundlander mutt here, but the name is Ryan Murphy :)

I'm Irish/Scottish/Native American. My great grandparents on my dad's side came here from Ireland in the early 1900's. My mom's side is Scottish (her maiden name=Aikenhead) Pretty cool heritage, I think. My husband thinks I look Scandinavian if that makes any sense!

On my mom's side, my grandfather's parents came from Ireland and my mom's mother's parents one came from Austria and the other Czecheslovakia

wanna hear somethin a bit contradicting tho? im an irish guy who doesnt drink!!!!!!! a whole lot.

Larne is only twenty miles north of Belfast. If you're up in Belfast anytime during the summer or whenever the weathers half decent, which isn't that often, you should take a trip up the Antrim coast road which starts from Larne takes you through the Nine Glens of Antrim and finishes up at the Giants Causeway. I have included a link about the Nine Glens as my rambling in no way does these areas the justice they deserve

i drink kilkenny doe that count ? :P
anyway cheers http://vanel.net/thumbnails/000100.jpg :D

Also did you lucky irish people know that you have a very cool reptile visiter which comes in for the jelly fish off the Dingle peninsula..not fair i wish leatherbacks came closer to the shores nearer the southwest coasts of britain :(

Please forgive my spelling if it is wrong as I only know of these places from hearing my family speak of them lol. My grandmother is from County Claire (sp) and my Uncle owns a pub in Dublin called Donaghues ( at least I think it is still there and I am not sure of the g in the name or not) There is another place I can't think of I will have to find out. :confused:

Count me in as Irish - currently live South of Belfast in Moira but have been about many places, including US - writing this at 4.35am in my Hotel room in Illinois - business travel and good sleep patterns just dont mix!!

Well my hubby Mike is half Irish and half Italian (dad's the Italian so we have a very Italian last name but Mike looks Irish to me LOL) and I'm half Scots and half Ukranian. Lord knows what that makes our poor son genetically but I think it may explain his temperment. :D
