Are we not proper Irish if we say Boxing Day? Has it officially been added to the list of 'proper' Irish qualifications like being RC, loving the GAA and voting FF?
Oh. and not forgetting the yearning to have our fourth green field back.0 -

Naw! It's WRAN Day.
Wren: Standard English.
Wran: Hiberno-English when referring to the St. Stephen's Day custom.
"The Wran Boys", "out on the Wran", the Wran, the Wran, the king of all birds", etc.
That's how it's pronounced in Munster anyway.
However, I'd say 'wren' when talking about the bird in an ordinary context.
Happy St. Stephen's Day to ye all.
Yerrah, I know. Tis a sorry life I'm leading; stuck on the internet in this time of festivities.
