@Krissttina Isobe , you're very welcome. I've really been enjoying your St, Patrick's Day Potluck Party over in the Food section! Lot's of YUMMY creative foods there! FUN! Oh, and thanks for the reminder of the Unicorn song…fun to hear that one after so many years. @Ina I. Wonder , your post about Irish Lace took my breath away. The photos and your historical account of the cottage industries was delightful. Thank you for sharing that.
Consider this list: Samuel Becket James Joyce Brendan Behan Sean O'Casey George Bernard Shaw Flann O'Brien Edna O'Brien Maeve Binchy Roddy Doyle Liam O'Flaherty Sheridan Le Fanu Robert Tressell Bram Stoker Oscar Wilde Jonathan Swift Louis MacNeice Seamus Heaney That's just a few of the brilliant novelists, playwrights and poets that one small country has produced. There are also those like Laurence Sterne and Cecil Day-Lewis that were born in Ireland, but regarded more as English.
I've often wondered what dog the Irish claim. I've heard of Irish wolf hounds, but I'm not sure where they come from. Any of you peeps know? I'd liked to see what kind of pup the Irish like to show. I can't remember where the Corgy comes from, but I thought they were Scotland's dog of choice. Here's my little guy Izzy, and I think green just might be his color.
Izzy is adorable! Irish Setters were born in Ireland and then, it is believed that they were bred with an... Irish Water Spaniel, Irish Terrier, Setting Spaniels, Pointers, and Gordon Setters And then there's this little Irishman:
This is a Kerry Blue terrier. The independence leader Michael Collins famously owned one of these. He named the dog Convict 224 after the number he was allotted when imprisoned by the British after the 1916 Easter uprising.
Now that little poodle is justt too cute! @Lara Moss , and I would love to try that yummy lime pie. Here is another myth that I was told was part of me. I'm sure am glad that turned out to be false. Do you remember stories of Changlings. Well here is another Irish myth.
