I felt this was worth a ping since the Irish played a key role in the RevWar and the flowering of this great country. And, St Patrick's Day is around the corner...

Okay, how do you pronounce Cead Mile Failte? Or Erin go braugh? Braw? Broff? Brawk?

Neat. I have people named Martin and Wood in my family. "May the rains fall softly upon your fields."
Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Thank you...a a happy St Paddy's to you too. Although I am an American of Jewish ancestry, my Y-chromosome haplotype is Rb1 M343 and the details of the haplotype place me firmly in Ireland. Who knew?? LOL!! Perhaps that is why I enjoy my whiskey...

Better me than someone like pissant. At least I posted an empty (only because there might be kids watching. ;~))

Nice article. My family has only lived in the same spot for 155 years, and has been renting out the fields for 50 or so.

One of the greatest songs ever sung...and mysterious lyrics that have provoked much comment.

Cead Mile FailteI could be wrong, but I've pronounced it: "K Mill-lay fall-tah."
And "Erin go bra" (which leads to the jokes).
I used to march every year in NYC with Sligo county. I once (as a teenager) held a guideline to the Sligo banner. I marched right behind the 4 officials from Sligo who preceded the county's procession.
