Yes, I am an Irish lass through and through.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Being Irish is very much a part of who I am. I take it everywhere with me.
The problem with being Irish... is having 'Riverdance' on your back. It's a burden at times.
I'm Irish, yeah, but I don't need to get up on a soapbox about it.
Above all else, deep in my soul, I'm a tough Irishwoman.
I find being Irish quite a wearing thing. It takes so much work because it is a social construction. People think you are going to be this, this, and this.
I'm first and foremost an Irishman, by birth, by nature, by soul, but an American citizen through and through as well.
I am a proud product of Irish golf and the Golfing Union of Ireland and am hugely honoured to have come from very rich Irish sporting roots... I am also a proud Ulsterman who grew up in Northern Ireland. That is my background and always will be.
I'm a product of my Irish culture, and I could no more lose that than I could my sense of identity.
I don't really go around feeling very Irish at all. I don't go to Irish pubs. I've lived so many places, and I'm still so curious about the bigger world. It's grand to be alive in a time when mobility is so accessible.
I'm just a true Irish boy at heart.
