A successful rugby team pipped to the post by the French... Grrr bloody frogs.

I think of St Patrick who was an anti-Roman Catholic and credited with inventing a distinctly Celtic church, with its own homegrown symbols and practices. He is an Irish hero! (not a Catholic one by the way) Irish Protestant point of view

My dead friend, Jason ... He was Irish-Canadian, poor, and wanted to make some money smuggling some arms from Canada to Northern Ireland ... he was paid with a bullet to the back of his head.

Pregnant teenage girls smoking on street corners. A queue of old age pensioners out the door of the post office on thursday morning. The smell of fish wafting from Moore Street whenever I walk past. The awful bus services. The thick, sharp Dublin accents that are so difficult to decipher. Home :) Dublin is my home. I love Ireland, in all it's splendour ^-^
-
The smell of peat briquettes in Winter... Green's Bookshop, Grafton Street and daffodils everywhere in Spring (well, from Paddy's Day onwards)... The lobster-red skins of everyone who got sunburnt in Summer... And the falling leaves in St. Stephen's Green in Autumn... (I get homesick for Ireland sometimes, and I'm not even Irish :)
-
The Motherland! My mother's side of the family came from Ireland; she was the first member of her family born in the US. I loved listening to my great-grandmother, grandma and grandpa talk about Ireland. I never tired of their stories, or their wonderful, lilting brogues.

Well i'm from there (Cork) and a like it there's a great spirit and i know every1 in my school to see. I don't get all the american miths about us we like potatoes a much as any1 else, Leprechauns don't exist, and we're NOT drunks. All the catholic stuff isn't true there's tonnes of religon's in Ireland. but yes :( it rains alot.

I think of "Earth" the world, the planet, what 'ideal' earthly conditions should be. My Mother's side of the family is from Ireland, she is first generation American, so my mother's side often spoke of Ireland so in a way it is 'home'.
