What is is that makes you feel Irish? Is it being Catholic? Or alcoholic to a socially acceptable level? Is it a love of potatoes? Is it speaking the gaelic language? Is it listening to Planxty?

Nationalism is a construct yo. So all of the above are true to some extent.

It'll be interesting to see what "irishness" becomes over the next few years. We were used to being poor, oppressed and sound for a long time. Then we had a few years of being hopeful, savvy and boisterous there. Now we have neither generalisation to rely on.




yeah, anyway.......

One facet of contemporary Irishness is the notion that the rest of the world still think we're great craic, when they copped on a long time ago that the Irish are arseholes with a hugely inflated opinion of themselves.
