The Luck of the Irish
At this time of year nearly everyone claims to have a drop of Irish blood in their veins – after all, if you’re lucky enough to be Irish, you’re lucky enough, as the saying goes.
St Patrick’s Day seems to get bigger every year, all around the world. Did you know that Australia is known as the 'most Irish country in the world outside of Ireland'? This is because so many Australians trace their roots to Ireland. The Irish also went to Britain, USA, Canada, Argentina, New Zealand, Mexico, South Africa, Brazil and states of the Caribbean and continental Europe.
There are all sorts of activities going on and here at YouPlay we're no exception. Join in our St Patrick’s Day Treasure Hunt, answer our Irish actors’ poll and write in and tell us your Irish connections. In my case, my mother came from Bere Island, a beautiful isle in Bantry Bay, Co Cork, which I visit as often as I can. We’d love to hear from you, just for the craic!
