Everything Great about Ireland

On March 10th 2015, the Irish Government ACCIDENTLY legalised the use of 125 drugs. It's known as Yokes Day and a lot of young people just went to night clubs ang got high. But some how cannabis wasn't legalized so you could have some crystal meth and not be arrested but if you had some cannabis instead you could've.

A lot of yous may already know this but Irish and English are the official languages of Ireland but almost no-one speaks it as their first hand language. There are some regions where it is spoken those areas are very small and there are very few of them. They still teach Irish in schools, just so that it doesn't become a dead language like Latin or Sanskrit.

St Patrick's Day is known as an Irish festival even in USA, and he's even the patron saint of Ireland. Born in Wales around 386 AD, he was in fact captured by the Irish and sold into slavery, working as a shepherd in the West of Ireland.

The Great Potato Famine was from 1845-49 and 1 million people died & a lot of people emigrated. It is now only under 5 million.

This one is slightly controversial, but in my opinion I find the stories really interesting, especially since most of them don't end happily, but in fact very sadly. Children of Lir, Deirdre Of Sorrows & The Bull of Cooley.

Guinness is probably Ireland’s most famous beverage but the owner Arthur Guinness was a kind humanitarian. Guinness was involved in loads of things including housing the poor & supporting the Irish troops during world wars ensuring there were jobs at the brewery.
