Tremendous Island Nation.
Seeing as Ireland's economy is on the rocks at the moment I though it'd be nice to remember some of the things that we can be proud of while we're on the road to recovery! (Oh and while I'm bored offshore!)
There's a disproportionately high amount of stuff to be proud of for such a small country... IRELAND IS AWESOME!!!
Literature:
1: Seamus Heaney (Yes England your Poet Laureate was once Irish! )
2: WB Yeats
3: George Bernard Shaw
4: Brian Friel
5: James Joyce (Possibly the most significant writer of the 20th Century)
6: Jonathan Swift
7: Samuel Beckett
Entertainment and Arts:
Where do we start here?!
1: U2
2: Enya
3: Riverdance
4: Daniel O Donnell
5: The Chieftans
6: Van Morrisson
7: Damien Rice
8: The Corrs
9: Sinead O' Connor
10: Clannad
11: The Cranberries
12: Westlife
13: Boyzone
14: The Pogues/Shane McGowan (Christmas just wouldn't be the same without them now would it?!)
15: Seven... Yes SEVEN Eurovision wins. Who else has done that???
16: Johnny Logan
Science and Exploration:
1: Robert Boyle (Boyles law's)
2: John Tyndall (Now you know why the sky is blue!)
3: Ernest Walton (Nuclear physicist)
4: Lord Kelvin.... Now why does "Kelvin" sound familiar???
5: Ernest Shackleton... Enough Said!
Sports:
1: Munster Rugby
2: Irelands rugby team. Grand Slam Winners 2009
3: Padraig Harrington. (Golfing Sensation)
4: Irelands Cricket Team (Surprisingly successful all of a sudden!)
Heritage:
We have three. Yes THREE UNESCO World Heritage Sites!!!
1: Skellig Michael
2: Bend of the Boyne
3: The Giants Causeway
That's all I can think of for now. Pretty amazing for 15mins research online. =D
" Ireland, IRELAND, together standing tall.
Shoulder, to shoulder....We'll answer IRELAND's CALL!!! "

Get the Ireland mug.From a Greek origin meaning “Queen or Slay” An Intelligent, funny female. She is hated on by peasants. Almost all who meet her wish they were her. Males see her and they cry because they know that they can never have her. An Isela has a great sense of humor. She is trust worthy and kind.
