That one day has come and gone once again when we can all say we are proud to be Irish. In these bleak economic times full of distress and uncertainty, I for one am glad that we can raise a glass on St Patrick's Day and toast ourselves as a nation.
As a small nation we have a much achievements to be proud of and we are appreciated throughout the world. As president Bill Clinton once said "Ireland is one of the best brands in the world." The video below which is a advertisement for the new terminal in Dublin Airport in which many of our accomplishment as a nation are explored. You cannot but help be proud of ourselves as a country when watching this:
Not only do we as the nation of Ireland celebrate this day but also do countries all over the world; from New York to Tokyo people have taken St Patrick's day into their hearts.

We should be able to at least once a year remember that as a nation we have much to be proud of and also look upon our achievements instead of our failures.
That video is very good, I had never seen it before where did you find it?

ReplyDeleteTalking about Irish Pride...two days after St Patrick's Day, Ireland defeated England in the six nations and the country still has not stopped celebrating. That is real Irish Pride!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc3CXNNUwrI
