STEVENSTAR | why are you yelling because when you cap that is what you are doing. Play nice

When a child I was brought up in Middlesbrough, England, there was so many Irish, I thought it was Ireland, I never knew until 30 years later when talking to my sister that 'our street' was considered to be ''All Catholics''. I honestly never knew there was such a thing, it was were we lived, it was our house and the neighbours were 'our neighbours', is this so strange, if I went to Boston, USA and landed in another Catholic st, wouldn't I look a fool by remarking 'there all Catholic's were moving'. I n our last home there were all Jews, 10 000 of them, and it was 'all one big happy family area'. Make of this what you want?

These highly superior, aka, 'know it all's who have obviously swallowed a dictionary & are so knowledgeable on EVERY subject, dare i say it... really amuse me.

Nice try with that phony testimonial, schlobo, you pathetic little brit troll. One need only judge perception and documented evidence of the behavior of anglos versus the Irish abroad for an objective perspective on who exercises discipline and self control. Maybe you should link up with the creature who is the subject of the article and give her some comfort - I have little doubt you have a lot in common.

Meanolgrouch stevetar is not Irish he pretends he is just to denigrate us in any way he can. He's more to be pitied than laughed at.

Gasp! I committed a grammatical error in my post below, partly because we can't preview our entries first. It's easier to catch errors that way. Anyhow, it should be "EVER" rather than "NEVER"; otherwise we find ourselves with a double negative, which will never do for the daughter of a teacher. Sorry, Mom.

Steven, you say "NO IRISH PERSON OVER HERE IN IRELAND GOES ON LIKE THE WAY PEAOPLE LIKE YOU GO ON AND ON AND ON ABOUT THE PAST" May I ask where you skipped school, especially grammar and spelling class? My grandfather and great-g. fought with the saint Michael Collins, and my dad was the first of us born in the U.S., and he married a pure Irish lady, so I'm Irish enough to speak on this subject. It's never been my experience that any real Irish folk NEVER hush when it comes to critical matters of history and social justice. So either you're no real Irishman yourself, or you're deaf. Or do you bow and scrape before Lizzy the Hun? Anyone who does that disqualifies himself and should be shorn of his shamrock.

@@cillowen | Jan 22, 2013, 10:53 PM EST I THINK YOU NEED TO GET OUT MORE....100% CERTAIN YOUR ONE OF THESE AMERICANS WHO THINKS HIS IRISH BECAUSE NO IRISH PERSON OVER HERE IN IRELAND GOES ON LIKE THE WAY PEAOPLE LIKE YOU GO ON AND ON AND ON ABOUT THE PAST

@Schlomo, the woman was suffering mental health problems, probably let down by the system. She harassed 2 elderly people for 14 years. You sound like you were dragged up. Rude and ignorant, your parents didn't do to good either.

WELL CONSIDERING THERE ARE MILLIONS OF IRISH LIVING ALL OVER THE UK ... ONE RACIST REMARK IS NOT SO BAD OUT OF MILLIONS.. IVE LIVED IN LONDON FOR 10 YEARS AND YOU COULDNT MEET A NICER PEOPLE ...'IRISH CENTRAL AGAIN PRININT ANTI BRITISH STORIES AGAINST IRISH AND BRITISH PEOPLE ALL PART OF THIS AMERICAN PROPAGANDA....WHICH IS BLOWN OUT OF ALL PROPORTION...

If you've ever experienced a disfunctional Irish family (I have numerous times) you'd have a little understanding of why theis woman was driven to distraction. In many Irish families discipline is totally lacking. Anything and everything goes and there is absolutely NO concern for other people. Sorry, Ms Godefroid I believe you're the victim but in Politically Correct Socialist Europe you are the villian fo defending your rights.

Normal enough for Merry O Remember that in 1641 Ireland had a population of 1,466,000 and by 1652 the population was down to only 616,000. According to Sir William. Petty, ``850,000 were wasted by the sword, plague, famine, banishment during the Confederation War 1641-1652.'' By the end of the war estimates vary from 80,000 to 130,000 of Irish men, women and children captured for sale as slaves to labour in England's expanding empire. The English were quite proud of these accomplishments as can be noted in Prendergast, ``Thurloe's State Papers'' (published in London in 1742), ``It was a measure beneficial to Ireland, which was thus relieved of a population that might trouble the planters; (NI Planted Ones) it was a benefit to the people removed, who might thus be made English and of England type Christian, a great benefit to the West Indies sugar planters, who desired men and boys for their bondsmen, and the women and Irish girls to solace them''.

“. . . knocking loudly on wall in the early hours of the morning, at 3am, and singing or making whale noises.” LOL – at least this behavior fits its appearance. The british terrr state frequently produces these types of lovely, balanced citizens who are frequently captured sharing their deep sense of british identity with the rest of the world (football matches, holidays in Spain, etc.). These alien types of limeys should be returned to their schleswig-holstein swamp land.
