I will try to follow the advice that a university president once gave a prospective commencement speaker. 'Think of yourself as the body at an Irish wake,' he said. 'They need you in order to have the party, but no one expects you to say very much.'

You're an actor who's Irish, not an Irish actor. And you shouldn't be limited by your extraction.

I don't have any great love for Chicago. What the hell, a childhood around Douglas Park isn't very memorable. I remember the street fights and how you were afraid to cross the bridge 'cause the Irish kid on the other side would beat your head in. I left Chicago a long time ago.

The Irish are hearty, the Scotch plausible, the French polite, the Germans good-natured, the Italians courtly, the Spaniards reserved and decorous - the English alone seem to exist in taking and giving offense

The English are not happy unless they are miserable, the Irish are not at peace unless they are at war, and the Scots are not at home unless they are abroad

All I know is what the words know, and dead things, and that makes a handsome little sum, with a beginning and a middle and an end, as in the well-built phrase and the long sonata of the dead.

The first year, we planted 20 sacks of Irish potatoes. But the back water came in - we didn't have a levee then - it took most of the crop. We only made enough to pay for the fertilizer and the seed. So, we planted 25 sacks the next year but the same thing happened. For two years we didn't make anything.

St. Patrick.. One of the few saints whose feast day presents the opportunity to get determinedly whacked and make a fool of oneself all under the guise of acting Irish.

The concerns expressed in the draft recommendation are based on the wrong premise. The Commission's assessment and the Broad Economic Policy Guidelines advises Ireland to seek to achieve economic stability. This is exactly what the Irish government has sought to do in the budget in a number of ways

We have not gotten information from any group that represents Irish or (anyone of) Irish ancestry.. That they believe that image is hostile and/or abusive. On the other hand, we had a lot of input from Native American tribes across the country that they believe the imagery at Florida State and other schools is (offensive).

Under Irish law, the Company is required to obtain the approval of its shareholders to buy back its own shares. The Board, believing it to be in the best interests of the shareholders and the Company, agreed that the Company should request this approval to provide the Company with the flexibility to buy back shares if it determines that the benefits associated with such a program can be realized.

I know that the caliber of the team I have will bring a huge range of experience and talent to the challenges that lie ahead. I can't wait to get started. I hope that the drive, passion and commitment that we have can reflect the Irish fans' real love for the game and have an impact not just on the squad but on the nation.

We were offered a place in Stanford, where an Irish (specialty) shop is now. The owners of it are keen for us to go in. They're retiring. But it would be too far away. With our youngest just 6, it would be too far to go.

But it's one of those things, and this is still the original Classic. The Irish Champion may be on the same day, but I'm not sure it's looking quite so impressive this year, and we could argue that the Leger is still the premier race of the afternoon.

We've had a difficult and trying time with all the political troubles but throughout that period, football has been a unifying force and the fans remained supportive. The atmosphere was unbelievable and I guess I felt it more than most given past history. Let's hope this is a stimulant and the starting point for a new future for Northern Irish football, because we've been in the dumps for many years.

I expect an amazing atmosphere for the Irish team, and I know it won't be easy at all. I also expect typical commitment and desire. I think Ireland can play really good football.

The losing side of that war was the IRA. A lot of those people (men and women), if they weren't outright forced out of Ireland, were certainly made to feel unwelcome. So you had a huge migration of the so-called 'Republican Irish,' and my family was part of that.
