Palma for a month...how about a few years and leave the kids at home. Let the old man have a go at it! This woman is killing herself and when she's gone he'll be right at it with someone else! Whatever happen to behind the barn?

So birds,bees, and rabibits also reproduce annually- most physically healthy adults can reproduce every 9 months, regardless of their intelligence and/or ability to parent- why is this a news story?

What a stupid post by springfield. Tell us springfield, just which posters said that the parents had no right to name their children as they please? Or just admit that you have Grade 3 reading comprehension.

Well, it is a beautiful picture. The very best of luck to all of them. That twadle about names is absurd. It's their right to name them in their manner. I do think that the poor mother could use a vacation - maybe Palma for a month.

Well done indeed, and especially nice to see that even with 11 children they have no problem finding Irish names for them. Not like other Irish--the vulgar majority--who name their children Keeley, Brandon, Katelyn, Shirley, Beyonce etc.

Willhoef. sex maniac, don't be daft. having sex just once makes the baby, if she had sex just once a year for 11 years and fell pregnant each time....11 babies. I wish the family the very best, and sure its a happy and loving home. they have given them beautiful irish names. Teaghlach a álainn.

It's not as much of a statistical anomaly when all the children were not born within the marriage.

Fiona is a girl but sometimes I see Aisling or Aislinn used as a boys name. Aisling means dream or vision in Irish (gaelic) so its not gender specific.

Eamonn, I think you may have it backwards. I am constantly hearing from the Irish that frequent here that an Irish person did this or that, even though they are several generations removed from Ireland. Born in America, you are an American period, NOT Irish, sheesh. O'Obama is a good example of this nonsense and yes, misspelled on purpose!

There are a LOT fewer than 40 million Irish Americans. People in the states consider themselves Irish if they have an Irish surname or think they have a some Irish link generations back. You will recognize these people by the comments they leave where they obviously don't know a thing about Ireland or Irish people.
