IRELAND AND HER PEOPLE
IRELAND AND HER PEOPLE
“LAND OF PRISTINE LAKES,VERDANT VALLEYS AND PASTORAL COUNTRY SIDE.
SEA SWEPT COASTLINES,CLIFFS THAT CLIMB UP AND SKYWARD FROM THE OCEAN WAVES.
SUN THAT WARMS BOTH HEART AND SUMMER AIR,CASTING LONG SHADOWS UPON THE MIST THAT LINGERS IN THE SWEET MEADOW.
MUSIC THAT DELIGHTS THE EAR,WHILE SETTINGS ONE’S HEART A-FLUTTER.
“DANNY BOY” NOT JUST A SONG,BUT A NATIONS “ANTHEM”
BRILLIANT MINDS,SCHOLARS,POETS,PLAYWRIGHT,AUTHORS AND MEN
OF LETTERS.GREAT UNIVERSITIES AND HALLS OF LEARNING.
GREAT STATESMAN AND PARLIMANTARIANS.
ST.PATRICK HER HOLY PATRON.
THE HARSH FAMINES THAT GAVE WAY TO THE TIDAL WAVE OF IMMIGRATION THAT NEVER DIMINISHED THE IRISH SPIRIT AND GIFT OF LAUGHTER OF HER PEOPLE WHO CONTRIBUTED RESOURCE AND TALENT TO THEIR NEWLY ADOPTED HOME-LANDS.
