March 17, 201214 yr Ahh no lads, don't be stereotyping. Though I'm not going out tonight to avoid drunk people :| I am actually Irish and this is not a stereotype. When I worked in Dublin, thats all it was, an excuse for people to get trashed.

March 18, 201214 yr I hope all you Irish people and all you Americans who pretend to be Irish people had a good day. Love Kiame.
March 18, 201214 yr Happy St. Patrick's Day and stuff. The prez of my company is Irish and once mentioned that it doesn't technically always fall on March 17 although that's when it is celebrated. I don't remember why. Maybe one of the Irish folk can explain it for me.
March 18, 201214 yr :lol: that's the spirit! Happy St. Patrick's Day! I'm a 1/4 Irish (well my ancestors were irish) To be one quarter Irish you must have one grandparent who was full Irish. To be one eight Irish would be to have one great grandparent who was full Irish. To be one twelfth Irish you must have one great great grandparent who was full Irish. Of course by this stage it means nothing. Having ancestors doesn't make you a quarter Irish.

Maybe one of the Irish folk can explain it for me. Well, I'm not Irish but Wikipedia comes to the rescue! Saint Patrick's feast day, as a kind of national day, was already being celebrated by the Irish in Europe in the ninth and tenth centuries. In later times he became more and more widely known as the patron of Ireland. Saint Patrick's feast day was finally placed on the universal liturgical calendar in the Catholic Church due to the influence of Waterford-born Franciscan scholar Luke Wadding in the early 1600s. Saint Patrick's Day thus became a holy day of obligation for Roman Catholics in Ireland. The church calendar avoids the observance of saints' feasts during certain solemnities, moving the saint's day to a time outside those periods. Saint Patrick's Day is occasionally affected by this requirement, when 17 March falls during Holy Week. This happened in 1940, when Saint Patrick's Day was observed on 3 April in order to avoid it coinciding with Palm Sunday, and again in 2008, where it was officially observed on 14 March (15 March being used for St. Joseph, which had to be moved from 19 March), although the secular celebration still took place on 17 March. Saint Patrick's Day will not fall within Holy Week again until 2160. (In other countries, St. Patrick's feast day is also 17 March, but liturgical celebration is omitted when impeded by Sunday or by Holy Week.)

I don't know what people's family histories are on here, but I've just come to accept and/or ignore when people say they are 1/2 or 1/4 Irish :| No offence to the people on here, they could easily have irish grandparents or great grandparents but so many people claim to be irish.
