Ireland's leaders urged the country today to honour its "most famous immigrant" - and avoid drinking too much alcohol - as an estimated half a million revellers lined the sunny streets of Dublin for St. Patrick's Day.
Dubliners and tourists gathered five-deep on the sidewalks of central Dublin for the parade, the centrepiece of Ireland's five-day St. Patrick's Festival.
Police have vowed to launch their biggest-ever crackdown on rowdiness and drunken driving, which typically follow the day's parading in Dublin and a half-dozen smaller Irish cities.
P.S. I'm Irish, too.
Hmmmm. A new generation of Irishmen "oozing with confidence"... Imagine that.

Irish, Scot, German and Polish here.

Almost completely French-Canadian but one of my great-grandmothers was Newfoundland Irish. Which probably means I drink with both hands, fight with my feet and kiss cod on the lips.
ReplyDeleteIrish on my mother's side, Italian on my father's ... which means that I can probably out-drink and out-argue most people.

ReplyDeleteBut everyone's Irish on St. Paddy's...
Oh no, Patrick is going to go off on another of his cross gender rants. He's sure to think you're a guy now. "Uncut"?
