I've never met one I did't like...
but I haven't met all that many....
(although I can spell dunlaoghaire!)
There was a young man from Dun Laoghaire
who propounded an interesting thaoghaire
that the language of Erse
has a shortage of verse
because spelling makes poets so waoghaire

my dads german and is also irish.. so that makes me part irish.. i went there with my family and we had so much fun we saw the Adare castle and the Aughanure Castle (not sure if i spelled it right lol) haha and there was this funny song on the radio called "ill tell me ma" lol haha ... I also learned about the irish costumes that the dancers wore.. which were quite interesting.. also learned the "seven basic steps" of irish dancing.. haha that was fun! I also visted Trinidad to see some cousins up there (they are from my moms side who is from Trinidad) Which im also half of.. that was fun too the beaches are awsome .. and i love the foods!
lol just thought i would share that with ya!

I have no reason not to like them. The ones I have met are just the same as anybody else, and most of those I've met were lovely. Irish generally are pretty outgoing, forward and direct, and can have a good piss up. Also most of the accents (not all) are quite sexy.

In general all the Irish people Ive met have been nice, but I realy do think you people drink too much, and I'm not just talking from stereotypes here.

I found the Irish people that i came across in my association to be very easy going, fun loving and very friendly people
but i also heard that they are not always pleasant
I never had any incident to believe so

the irish are by far the best. im not racist against any other race, but you just have to kinda accept that the irish are the best.
If everyone in the world was irish thered be no trouble at all.
but if they were all english thered be too much competition and wed all end up argueing.
American, and wed all be ignorant tw_ats.
Welsh, wed all be geography teachers.
Scottish, wed all be too proud.
German, well lets not go there haha. (nah i joke)
French, well snobby, self obsessed etc etc
But IRISH! the friendliest most down to earth people ever! You dont have to tell them to live every moment. If you did theyd look at you as if youd told them "dont forget to breathe".
And they get things done! theyre dedicated to their jobs.
and the only competition is friendly healthy competition between countys. Apart from the Dubs really who are pretty much Londoners lol.

yes i like Irish people, i know a few that i have worked with and one of my best friends (my best man in fact) is from Cork, he and quite a few of his family live here in Yorkshire and they are lovely people, i have visited Ireland and almost every one i met was nice, apart from one lad who i spoke to, he started to sing protest songs and made a gesture to be shooting me ind my pals whilst he covered his face by pulling up his sweater and then made rude comments about the English, but hey 1 out of probably 100 ain't bad , you folks are alright.

I've never met an arrogant or unpleasant Irish person. Every one I've met has been friendly, outgoing, and smiles a lot.
