OMG, another looser with an Irish sob story, blaming some childhood event for attention. My mother died when I was 9 years old. Everyone knew some form of poverty. Get over yourself Rosie, you are responsible for your own behavior.

WHY DO YOU PROMOTE IRISH TRASH LIKE "ROSIE" THE DYKE. TRASH,TRASH, TRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very good story, despite so much sadness. For so many of us, the key to today's issues is in the past and our history. The story of the Irish hasn't been fully told and it needs to be.

It is a sad story that unfolded for Rosie but at least she knows her history and apparently has adapted to it as well as anyone could. I did think the article was about what plastic surgeries the Irish were getting so that threw me. If I had to guess on that subject I'd say getting rid of the neck waddle. Seems the Irish do get that much younger than other peoples of the world.

Thousands and thousands of Irish experienced the workhouses during the Famine years. I feel sure that each and everyone who emigrated from Ireland in the post famine years either experienced the horror of the workhouses or knew someone who did.

If only we could send Rosie back to Canada. I'd do my share to help with the cost. Just like some of you despise Bush, I do not like Miss O'Donnell, she is a political twit.

Shows that is the way it was. We are not all lucky to go that route of having someone do a history. My Irish family's history in the US is known by photos and military records but unfortunately in both cases the mother's name is not known and the father's is and that we learned from death certificates.

Comment to BallinaLass, well said!

Scotia Major in which disturbed souls abound and bring it to the world .

Ms. O'Donnell did a very good job on this program. I even called my mom a few minutes before it came on to make sure she watched. She found it interesting but also so sad/disturbing that she couldn't sleep! As for Rosie O. being a "negative" image of the Irish-American -- pfft, please! She's no more embarassing than Bill O'Reilly or that arrogant Maher person. We have saints, scholars, poets, loonies and buffoons in our clan - just roll with it.

I watched the show, as I have watched almost all of the who do you think you are shows. They are frequently, not always, interesting. Any show mentioning the workhouses, as this show did, is worthwhile. A reminder of terrible times in Ireland. The famine is widely known, but not the workhouses. Let us not forget, as our people were starving, British ships left Ireland for England full of anything that could be exported, especially crops. My people were from Skibereen, one of the most decimated areas.

Talk about suffering! Listening to rosie talk about anything, especially politics,now that's suffering. Donald Trump has got her number down alright.

I watched this show, couldn't understand why they didn't just look at death certificates to find out the info, seemed like they were just making work for others! I also thought it was odd that Rosie was feeling her family's pain in a workhouse that they'd never been in - it had been previously stated that this wasn't the actual workhouse, just one similar. Always think it's funny when people who boast about their Irish ancestry don't seem to know anything at all about even the basics.
