Like a lot of other people stated the U.S. and Canada have a large number of people with Irish heritage. Not unless your American Indian your an alien with heritage going back only a few hundred years or less. So when you try to find your history, very important. You have to go back where your ancestor came from.
Also another reason is this, great music, great literature, great myths, great history, great culture, amazing people, amazing island.

A lot of Americans have Irish ancestors and going to Ireland fulfills that need in our blood to inhale the same air, and experience the same things that our Irish ancestors did. Added to that, the mythologies and history of Ireland is so complex and interesting, I think it adds to the spell. All European countries have such an amazing story to tell; the only thing is we, Americans, mostly learn about the countries in the UK, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy, whenever we're in school.

Because many of us are Irish. The term Irish-American exists for a reason. I may be 3rd generation removed, but I am still Irish!

I requested this question once and became shocked what number of human beings said themselves as Irish or Italian first then American second and idea as you reported it truly is rather divisive and placed no different countries keep on with this vogue. i'm from Australia and we are Australians and the in common words those who do positioned words earlier that are Aboriginals and that in itself has brought a pair of spot between them and us which we can do with out. To Michael above me i do not understand the position you stay yet I went to school with many Italians and Irish they by no skill called themselves Italian or Irish Australians those words are not in our vocabulary. You what the unhappy situation is Michael is they're probaly second technology Aussies whose moms and dads understand what worry is and labored puzzling to grant them a extra perfect life and they stuff it up by going round with chip on their shoulder.

If you're talking about people, then think it's the rowdiness and the overall, overt charisma that Irish people posses. As for Ireland itself, it's the Craggy coastline, history, golf courses, and the overall Celtic atmosphere we imagine because of the stereotypes and movies that glorify such things. So, I guess we can blame Hollywood for this, too.
