what does it mean to be Irish?
I'm certainly not ashamed to be Irish and I could have been saddled with a lot more, shall we say, inconvenient or unloved of nationalities.
AS FAR AS I'm concerned, politicians have stolen the word 'patriotism' formt eh ordinary, decent folk of this island. Being patriotic is not about gettign elected and lining your pockets. If they were patriotic they would forego their pensions until aged 60 and go out and work for a living while waiting.
to me, being patriotic is being communtity-spirited, contributiong in time or money to your nation ans uniting, standing up for the people of the state when necessary.
