Irishmen are not reserved, and the company appeared dying to be intimately acquainted.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We have always found the Irish a bit odd. They refuse to be English.
I think there's something about the Irish experience - that we had to have a sense of humor or die.
There's a real mischievousness about Irishmen, don't you find?
Being Irish means you belong to the clan. It's what you feel. They feel Irish.
The Irish job was something that had to be sorted out.
It's not that the Irish are cynical. It's rather that they have a wonderful lack of respect for everything and everybody.
The way I see it is that all the ol' guff about being Irish is a kind of nonsense. I mean, I couldn't be anything else no matter what I tried to be. I couldn't be Chinese or Japanese.
I'm a product of my Irish culture, and I could no more lose that than I could my sense of identity.
Show me an Irishman who can't tell a story - I don't think they exist.
I can't think of anything you might say about Irish people that is absolutely true.
