Those who have passed by this thread recently to advise that they are Irish or part-Irish .............

I'm interested to learn more and understand what you mean by being Irish. In other words, the sense of Irishness you have seems to be inter-generational and may not be related to an actual link to Ireland nor may you have lived in Ireland or even visited there.

So what is it? What makes you Irish?


ps - not a deliberately provocative post but specific to, for me, the Irish dysphoria question.
