How to apply for your Certificate of Irish Heritage - POLL

I'm an artist...I'll make my own certificate! We Irish Americans won't be out-smarted. :-)

I don't have to prove my Irishness, Especially when it costs money. I'm from Pa.'s Molly Maguire hard coal country where all the ethnics speak with an Irish brogue from the famine Irish.Anthracite Coal Region of Pa.

Doner kabab's!! Naww!! Most Americans are gone right off Muslim food.We do have alot of Irish cheese to off load though.

Does this certificate entitle one to a free doner kabab at Abrakebabra!?

EXCITED TO BE ABE TO SHOW MY HERITAGE WITH A PRINTED CERTIFICATE. HOPE I HAVE ENOUGH INFO AS MY FATHER BORN IN IRELAND IN 1896, BUT MOST OF HIS RECORDS HAVE BEEN DISTROYED. I DO HAVE CENSUS, ETC AND THE BUNNOE BOOK IS FILLED WITH MY ANCESTERS.

Relax people with the negative comments, no one seems to have much of a sense of humor today. Given he was running away from a famine, my great-great grandfather wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry if I started pinning too much about the "old country." Proud of our Irish heritage yes, visit Ireland every chance I get sure, but paying 40 euros for a certificate to prove my "Irishness"? People will just have to look to my sense of humor and ability to talk endlessly about nothing instead. Throw in red-headed wife and daughter and what more proof of my Irish roots do you need?

Well, I guess this is one way to solve their financial problems. I read somewhere that there are more Americans with Irish blood here, than there are Irish in Ireland. If we all bought into this, it could bring back the Celtic Tiger!!!!.

Did you know that now you cannot have your picture taken kissing the blarney stone by your wife friend or whatever no you have to give 10 euro for having this done at the time then you collect you photo on the way out of blarney castle what a rip off

Don't forget to send the moola. That's what this worthless paper is all about.

My ancestors from Ireland came over during the first half of the 1800s... I know their names but don't have any documentation that proves they came from Ireland. I am hoping I will be able to find some, but won't be surprised if I can't.

@antoman - if I bring my own crayons, markers, and a Cheerios box, may I have a discount on the price??? LOL For those who want a certificate and are willing to pay for it, go for it. If not, take a pass.

I'd rather have Irish citizenship, thank you very much.

@antoman.You're talents are wasted biy.That's a great idea.Don't tell anyone here,but I have a big bag of shiny harp stickers left over from the old 17th of March drinkfest.The Irish Americanos they'll wet themselves with excitement for that shiny harp.Push!!! the dog outta the way there biy.We,ll plan this some more over a bottle of red.

This is nothing but a money making scheme.How about giving the vote back to the Irish who was born there.

No Irish Without a Credit Card Need Apply.
