The Article title makes it seem like it is all irish rebuilding this site. Quite the contrary there are many nationalities there and very many of them are mexican. (i'm Irish not mexican) So to state "Irish Workers rebuild World Trade Center" is a wee bit arrogant and misleading. Jackie O was right the Irish do have a complex

How dare you commenters try to disgrace and Irish construction worker, especially Irish ironworkers. I was married to a ironworker and proud of it. He went out everyday, no mattter the weather to feed his family but also doing a job he loved. It takes a very special man to walk on iron high in the sky. And you sirpeter need a set of balls. The idiots were NOT the ironworkers or any other trades, it was the architects you bloody uneducated fool. They never thought that a retarded president would purposely put us in harms way. The buildings were never designed to hold up to 727 planes ramming them. Do try to read the vast tomes written about 9/11 and educate yourself. That is if you can read. God bless your soul.

@tommymccarthy.You're a steel erector are ya? If idiots like you did the steel erecting correctly the twin towers would be still standing instead of them collapsing like a deck of cards killing all those people.It doesn't say very much for the steel erectors in the states.Judging by your stupid comment I can see they had the wrong people doing the job.

The Irish have always worked in building and creating. Maybe some of these terrorist who go around destroying can take a lesson.
