An ethnic group that originated from the island of Ireland. Historically, they were proficient tradesmen, artisans, and founders of the Gaelic language. They were some of the fiercest fighters in Europe, and were grouped in familial tribes under a democratically elected King or Queen. The Romans refused to fight them, but the English decided they were up to the task. After a small time period of only 400 years, they finally conquered Ireland. By the mid-late 1800's it became safe enough for an Englishman to travel to all parts of Ireland. Since they now had complete and total control, the English decided to, as usual, abuse their subjects. The Irish were treated as second-class citizens, sold as slaves overseas, and made to pay harsh taxes. In the early 1900's the Irish fought back, and the southern portion of Ireland regained freedom. The northern part did not. To this day there is hope that Ireland will once again be reunited as a whole country once again. With the advent of Brexit, these dreams will likely be realized within the next 30 years.
The children of Ireland can be found across the globe, and can be recognized from their high cheekbones, mid-depth eye-sockets, downward slanted eye-sockets, pointed eyebrows, pale white skin, thin lips, broad shoulders, strong chins, and mostly clan based surnames. ie Kelly, O'Donnell, ect.

Good, decent people from small country in western Europe. Have own language- hÉireann go bra(Ireland forever), have own type of moonshine- poitín, have own types of sport(Gaelic football and hurling), many are farmers, despise travelers, chavs, strong cheeses and the English. Fond of chips, tractors, the french, good whiskey on a Saturday night or after mass on a Sunday, usually quite religious, looked down upon by the English for bullshit long standing racial reasons and in general very kind, welcoming and generous people often involved in bilateral and multilateral aid along with peacekeeping and charitable organisations.

The state of being decended from the greatest people to ever grace this earth. Ethnic pride (well Deserved) by an irish man/woman. Im not white im irish ask an indian.
The irishism led to the severe but justified beating of a crooked toothed bugg eyed ignorant little english prick.
