Bejaysus, as Michaleen Og might say...Sure, if no person says "Faith and begorragh", how can fewer (less) not be alcoholic...that would mean we have a 'minus number' of alcoholics, misogynists, and pugilists? Didn't look like that last time I was out and about for an evening in Galway city...I even know one or two who tick all those boxes...

Anything that gets rid of the memory of a corney stage Irish film character, equating Irish people with fighting drunkard, is alright in my books. Hollywood stereotyping have a lot to answer for. No Irish person says "Faith and begorragh". Fewer still are alcoholic, misogynistic, pugilists. Wake up people. Get with the programme.
