Many Irish people are writers, having a fondness for language and its uses.
As writers, the Irish tend to know how to use grammar accurately, since proper use of grammar leads to clear expression of ideas.
It may require some time to structure one's sentences properly, but it's worth the effort.

Irish Americans dug canals, built railroads, and many other things in history.
As for today, you can't turn on a tv or watch a movie without seeing somebody of Irish descent. Marrion Morrison (John Wayne), Maureen O'Hara (who was born in Ireland), Judy Garland, Robert Redford, etc. are a few of the exapmles of Irish Americans.
If you are a member of a union, that is due in part to Mary Harris Jones, I have also heard plenty of references to JFK in the recent political activity here in the states. Not to mention that some of the people running are of Irish descent, not to mention some of the people yacking about it (Bill O'Reilly, Chris Matthews, etc.).
Additionally, nuclear physics is where it is today because Ernest Walton (born in Ireland) invented the partical accelerator. The modern X-ray was developed by Bernal (also born in Ireland). Astronomers now know of pulsars because of Irish-born Jocelyn Bell Burnell.
