Kind of cool, but I understood most of your headline. All those superfluous letters! I'm not Irish-Irish, I'm American-Irish. My Ancestors were from Cork, and came over on the boat escaping the blight. Lived in squalor in New York until the war (ww2), where they finally started to make some money. It is a sad story. My father's dad got crushed in an elevator accident, and lived but was bed ridden his whole life, and there were 20 people living in the apartment (the whole shebang). Would like to hear your take on all of this from the gealtacht pov.
