Other - Ireland

I've just been listening to 'The Fields of Athenry' a beautiful, haunting song, could anyone tell me where Athenry is in Ireland, and is it famous for anything else other than the song.

They had a program on about English people living in Ireland complaining that they are not liked. One guy complaining about a pub he was in that muted the TV when the English national anthem was been played.

Who here thinks these people have a right to complain as after all when the Irish went to England for work they were treat for worse but not as bad as they were treated in the US.

I am looking for two or three Irish 1 Pound coins for a project. I'm interested in the version minted from 1990 to 1999, with the Deer on the front and the harp on the back. Since Ireland switched to the Euro, they've become impossible to find. Does anyone have any ideas?

I'm a male. I'm 19 ys old, and I'm a 1st generation Irish American. Both my parents r from Ireland & r both ethnically Irish. I love only one country though & that country is America. I have no political or national loyalty 2 Ireland only 2 America. I understand that Americans intermarry w/people of different ethnic origins (like German, Polish, & English 4 example) & races (Asian, Black, Hispanic etc.), but since I have pure origins I don't want 2 break that apart (and people don't tell me about how the Irish are made up of Celts, Danes, Anglo-Saxon etc. because i know and thats what makes the Irish irish---those combinations made what we know as the Irish so there is such a thing as being pure Irish). Like I said though i won't break that up. I will only marry and produce someone who is of 100% Irish origin . I'm an American only but I want to carry on this Irish ethnic pureness. R there any pure Irish-Americans out there or other pure ethnic Americans who wish to do the same thing?

I've only seen this once, but when I was one one of my trips to Ireland, I stayed at some accomodation above a pub in a small town. I noticed the shower had some sort of electric box in it, with some knobs, which I easily found out control the shower stream and temperature. This was in leiu of what we're used to in the states, which would be a typical shower knob(s). I only saw this device once on my trip, and was curious as to what it's purpose was. I'm assuming it's a power device to provide water pressure, but why don't all old buildings have them? I stayed in several places that were rather old, and none of them other than this one had one. I'm curious about it, because I've since learned that these are more commonplace in that part of the world than I thought.
