I feel the Irish blood pulsating in my veins.

I want to go to my motherland and drink pints.

My Dad started to examine our Scotch/Irish ancentry in the early 1960's, and a part of that was the purchase of many Clancy Brothers albums to play on the new Stereo phono. I know all the songs by heart, and still have Dad's albums, tho after nearly 50 years of hard use, some of that under the advice of the devil Whisky, they are not in the best of shape! It was nice to hear one of my Favourites played so clean and clear! God rest you Tommy Makem, and May God Save Ireland!

@poplogan "Scotch"? very peculiar that your ancestors were a drink

God Save the Queen. God Bless England so we pray. May God curse and destroy the slime known as the Republic of Ireland. Death to all that inhabit that sorry shithole.

Irish humour at its very best

[RonnieStigg]

Great Britain is still the greatest country on earth as we had the biggest empire in human history and no one will ever beat that and this song is funny

@bettyswollex His sons were styled Mac Giolla Phádraig (son of Giolla Phádraig). As part of the colonisation of Ireland by England, natural Irish names had to be restyled in the English format. Mac Giolla Phádraig was anglicised as Fitzpatrick.

[kevinjjfr]

@bettyswollex The surname Fitzpatrick is the translation of Mac Giolla Phádraig from the original Irish to English. Giolla Phádraig (the devotee of St. Patrick) was King of Ossory, a kingdom in Leinster in Ireland. According to Carrigan, this kingdom was founded by Aengus Osrith who flourished some time about the latter half of the second century of the Christian era. Giolla Phádraig's reign commenced some eight centuries later in 976 AD and he reigned until he was slain in 996 AD.
