.May you please tell me something about Irish People?

Answer 1

They are great humored people, usually quick tempered. Love the luck they carry with them. My sister in law is Irish and she is the nicest person, giving and caring. My husband is Irish and he's the same way. I think that we got lucky with these two, but watch out for the temper....

Answer 2

Irish people are famous for not living in Ireland. Millions and millions of us have taken over the world but still insist on holding onto our Irish passports and calling ourselves Irish. If you go to Ireland you will be amazed at all the different nationalities that live there. Half of Eastern Europe now live and work there and are becoming more Irish than the Irish themselves. As did the Celts, the Danes, the Vikings, the Saxons and now the Eastern Europeans. However, when you do find some Irishmen and women, usually standing outside public house (bars) doors smoking as there is no smoking inside any more. That's good. Because of that law, you will find many of the older pubs turned into flats and private accommodatiton with all the drinkers now drinking and smoking at home. This has caused bartenders to be in good health now, albeit without a job and most of the wives and children suffering from second hand smoke diseases. Ireland has become too wealthy as a result of the EU subsidies and whereas before you had small 'boreens' - country roads, you now find Motorways criss-crossing the place with factories everywhere. As a result of the wealth, the cost of housing has skyrocketed giving the vast majority of people equity of in many cases hundreds of thousands of Euros. (The Punt, the Irish currency no longer exists - they use Euros). As a result of this equity, the banks have lent vast amounts of money and issued Credit Cards. The Irish in turn who were never used to debt, have got themselves into a right tangle not knowing how they are going to repay their debts. I am afraid that when the baloon bursts, as it surely will, the only outcome will be a mass exedus once again. Full circle. Apart from all that doom and gloom, I still love it and will spend eternity there when I die. Read on:


The Vale of Clara.

Cast my dust to the four winds, beside a Wicklow Hill,
In a lonely vale, beside a stream where all around is still.
Where the silence is only broken, by some wild bird’s call,
Where small brown trout, play freely about, above the waterfall.

Beyond the bridge, a chapel stands, as white as snow can be,
There, light some penny candles, for past friends and for me.
Then say a prayer that I may rest, where peace will me enfold,
And ask my God, if he sees fit, to have mercy on my soul.

And in the distant future, my one and only wish,
Is that a great, great grandchild, shall wander there to fish.
And if by chance, a trout is caught, just gently set it free,
Then this sweet vale, will Heaven be, forever more to me.

Answer 3

The Irish people that I have met both here and in Ireland tend to be patient (especially compared to Americans and British) and very caring. They tend to be polite in a genuine way--they are polite for the sake of being kind rather than because they feel the need to keep with some sort of etiquette. Most are poetic even if they do not admit it, and relate stories and experiences of their lives with gusto. They are able to always pick out the good in the bad and the bad in the good, recognizing that one rarely exists without the other--if there's any doubt in that, listen to any Irish song about love. Sore subjects, when brought up, tend to remain as such and aren't as easily resolved (I find the same to be true in the Irish-American community here) compared to others, but an Irish friend is extremely loyal. The temper appears frequently, but in my opinion, usually when justified.

They tend to have more practical views about sex, drinking, love, and death than most other cultures--that said, they lose no sentiment or song over those things.

What I like most about talking with my Irish friends is that they feel that sometimes it is okay to be sad. I tend to share this view, but my American friends always focus on how to fix the sadness rather than how to let it sit and pass when its time is over, and that is my very favorite aspect of the Irish and their patience.

Answer 4

They are hard working,lovable,trustworthy,friends forever.They love a good time,but can also be serious.Think about everything you want in a friend and you will find it in an Irish person. The only faults I know they generally have is,they have a temper and they have a tenancy to hold grudges.The Irish also have a touch of the leprechaun in them, which is not always a bad thing!

Answer 5

People are people everywhere but the Irish feel deeper, laugh longer, are devoted, loyal, kind, and they love the deepest of all, and are easily offended. They enjoy craic much more than Americans do. They take time to play, tis a big part of their lives.

All the best and God be with you.
