wow, I had a tottally different experience when I was in Dublin in 06...The people were super nice, the weather was great(a little cold) and the club scene was cool as well, just like you tho I didnt like the clubs that closed early...from what I heard there are early club and ones that closed later on around 2am......I was only there for a long weekend, I always felt like I would go back for a second visit one day.... Oh a weekend revolution is good fun but try and live here all year around....forever!! Its hard and the country is slowly winding back to the early 90's. Unemployment is on the rise. Watch out America here we come again!!! thats sad to hear, lets hope things turn around quickly.... As far a where I live????????? Its a good area for married people with children but for single people it sucks, I always have to drive to Philadelphia for a good time....

Sinne Firnna Fáil A tá fé gheall ag Éirinn, buion dár slua Thar toinn do ráinig chugainn, Fé mhóid bheith saor. Sean tír ár sinsir feasta Ní fhagfar fé'n tiorán ná fé'n tráil Anocht a théam sa bhearna bhaoil, Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil Le guna screach fé lámhach na bpiléar Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann. please translate, it's looks so beautiful Soldiers are we whose lives are pledged to Ireland; Some have come from a land beyond the wave. Sworn to be free, No more our ancient sire land Shall shelter the despot or the slave. Tonight we man the gap of danger In Erin's cause, come woe or weal 'Mid cannons' roar and rifles peal, We'll chant a soldier's song It's the National anthem

And this is the unoficial athem for a complete Ireland,sung at rugby matches as the rugby team comprises both the north and south Come the day and come the hour Come the power and the glory We have come to answer Our Country’s call From the four proud provinces of Ireland Chorus Ireland, Ireland, Together standing tall Shoulder to shoulder We’ll answer Ireland’s call From the mighty Glens of Antrim From the rugged hills of Galway From the walls of Limerick And Dublin Bay From the four proud provinces of Ireland Chorus Hearts of steel And heads unbowing Vowing never to be broken We will fight, until We can fight no more From the four proud provinces of Ireland Chorus

The anthem is based only on the chorus. Here is the Full version Of; Amhrán na bhFiann A Soldier’s Song Seo dhíbh, a chairde, duan Ógláigh Caithréimeach bríomhar ceolmhar Ár dtinte cnámh go buacach táid ’S an spéir go mín réaltógach Is fonnmhar faobhrach sinn chun gleo ’S go tiúnmhar glé roimh thíocht don ló Fé chiúnas chaomh na hoíche ar seol Seo libh, canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann Sinne Fianna Fáil... Cois bánta réidhe, ar ardaibh sléibhe Ba bhuadhach ár sinsir romhainn Ag lámhach go tréan fén sárbhrat séin ’Tá thuas sa ghaoth go seolta Ba dhúchas riamh dár gcine cháidh Gan iompáil siar ó imirt áir ’S ag siúl mar iad i gcoinne námhad Seo libh, canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann Sinne Fianna Fáil... A bhuíon nach fann d’fhuil Ghaeil is Gall Sons of the Gael! Sin breacadh lae na saoirse Tá sceimhle ’s scanradh i gcroíthe námhad Roimh ranna laochra ár dtíre Ár dtinte is tréith gan spréach anois Sin luisne ghlé sa spéir anoir ’S an bíobha i raon na bpiléar agaibh Seo libh, canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann Sinne Fianna Fáil..

All I know, from being born with Irish blood in an American body is that 26+6=1.
