I'm as Irish as a bag of Tayto

Witchie

Very. I have an Irish flag on my balcony, wheaten soda bread, Kerrygold butter, a hape of Tayto in the cupboard and my boyfriend walks around singing "Are you right there Michael".

The fact I had to move to Kuala Lumpur and get a Malaysian boyfriend to feel remotely Irish has no bearing on the facts.

According to that Ancestry.com DNA test I took a few months ago I was 95% "Ireland and Scotland". The remaining 5% was: Finland/Northwest Russia 1%
Great Britain <1%; Europe South <1%; European Jewish <1%;Polynesia <1%.

Got an email a couple of weeks ago to say that with further matches I'm now 100% "Ireland and Scotland". Curious that they don't distinguish between Ireland and Scotland.

Still 2% is too much. We better hide the Irn Bru and lock up the haggis.

I'm one hundred percent Catholic Irish.



Sired by an O'Connor and bore by an O'Neill woman.


The O' Connor family were the last High Kings of this island.

Belfast born, father from Belfast and mother from Tyrone. Lived in Dublin most of my life. Family surname Scottish in origin.

My sister did one of those DNA ancestry tests - turns out we are 90% Irish/Scottish, 6% Scandinavian and 4% Iberian.

So mainly Irish with a bit of Viking and Spaniard in me...:pac:

BeerWolf

I'm a mutt, half Irish (Mother) half Indian (Father).

From that, you're mostly a Scottish planter and not much Irish.

Depends on which passport I present at border control.

I'm very much Irish, but have never had to bother getting one of those idiotic DNA tests to prove it. A fool and his money and all that.

Anyways, born in the Whest of Ireland, a native Irish speaker, winner of an All Ireland club football medal, played for Gaillimh in Croke Park at underage level, keen fiddle player, passable uilleann pipe player, heavy drinker, occasional fighter, raconteur.

I wear my Irishness lightly though, as I'm comfortable about it. I have started visiting some of those Pop Up Gaeltacht events recently and I must say I'm quite the object of admiring female attention. The events are usually frequented by very serious young men with that terrible, clipped, and contrived South Dublin Gaelscoil Irish. You know the sort: beard, glasses, tweed jacket with leather patches, SF supporter, usually with a Planter surname clumsily translated into Irish. Interminable bores rambling on about history while sipping their pale ales. As a result, most of the ladies who attend are most impressed with meeting a wild-eyed native speaker who speaks the language with such fluidity and joy. Flirting, story telling, and truly enjoying getting to speak the language in our capital city.

Don't want to go into too many details, but the Pop Up Gaeltacht events have done wonders for my sex life. Pulled a glamorous divorcee at one of them before Christmas. It was great to hear her shout, "go suas orm, Johnny. Tuilleadh, tuilleadh!" as we went at it like two randy lunatics.

Corofin or Caltra? A great achievement winning an all Ireland with the club. Even better than county imo. Fair play to ya.

mr_edge_to_you

If we take the Joe.ie approach to being Irish, such as "this video of a man eating a chicken fillet roll is the most Irish thing ever", then I'm very much Irish.

I'm waiting to get mine back. According to the old family tree I'm Irish with a hint of Channel Isles but then the auntie got her DNA done and despite Irish surnames traced as far back as the 17th century it turns out she only 2% Irish.
Going by that I could be a grand mixture of a mongrel... which would explain why I hate crisp sambos, am punctual, not a Roman Catholic, never voted for either FF or FG, no interest in the GAAAA, don't like tea, the last place you would find me when abroad is in an Irish bar (apart from the one time in Rome where it was the only place I could watch the 6 Nations)

...or someone got the Auntie's test mixed up and I'm just an oddball...

judeboy101

I'm level 2 Irish, meaning im born in Ireland, to Irish parents who were born in the free state. My kids are level 1 Irish as the are born to parents born in the Irish republic.

Not at all. I don't use stupid nonsensical words for objects when they have a real meaningful name.

I also blame my Tyrone mother and spending my formative years in Canada eh.

You posting that is beyond freaky. I only had a conversation in work about The Bards on Thursday and yesterday showed that exact link to a work colleague.
