    Is that for real? :eek:

    I was going to suggest Country 'n' Irish bands dressed in rhinestones but you've knocked that into a cocked stetson.

    They were a real band. I have one of their records. I didn't intentionally buy it, I bought a bundle of records Sellotaped together in a charity shop years ago and this was in with them.

    You're right. We're just a bunch of immigrants.

    https://owlcation.com/stem/Irish-Blood-Genetic-Identity
    Meanwhile, the latest research in 2018 suggests that the Irish are most closely related to people in North West France (Brittany where a Celtic language has traditionally been spoken) and in Western Norway. Interestingly, where earlier studies didn't find much impact of Viking DNA among the modern Irish, a recent study suggests there may have been more influence than perviously thought. You can read more details here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-17124-4

    What we can take from all of this is that, although the Irish today feel part of a single group united by cultural and national identity, this culture and identity is ultimately founded on waves of migration connecting the island to the wider world of European peoples and beyond.

    It's no coincidence that Sudocrem was invented close to the Guinness brewery.

    They are the opposite of what's being asked, since they are non-Irish things that sort of seem Irish. (Although, the language we speak is really Hiberno-English and can be very different from what is spoken in England.)

    Not any more. I don't know where people got such a strong desire to destroy everything that makes us Irish but it's nauseating.
