Well, our economy is booming, we are now almost a multi-cultural country...may like East Europeans, Nigerians, English.

Our primary sport over here is Hurling and Gaelic Football....Irelands most popular sports. Our Irish Language is dying, although some villages and areas around Ireland speak fluent Irish and keep it alive as much as possible...mainly areas in Galway and Kerry.

Our main alcoholic drink is Guinness... its black stout and very popular even outside Ireland.

Our traditional cuisine here would be Irish Stew, Bacon and Cabbage, Corned Beef and Potatoes but their are many McDonalds, KFC,s and pizzerias over here.

We are a thriving country in terms of fashion and arts. In terms of latest trends, yes we do keep up and dress similar to the U.S and England. Dublin is the capital city and main county of Ireland where most tourists go, most music artists and celebrities go and the most important events are set.

We have many popular nightclubs around the country and the best Universities: (Martin Sheen recently completed a course in Galway University)

We also have our beautiful coast lines, cliffs and historic castles and are known as a very friendly race of people.

years ago we lived on potatoes and thats why when we had the famine a lot of people emergrated to america.

now a days we eat all the same sorts of food that you would eat in the us and we have the same fashion as you do. we gave up making our own clothes years ago. lol. we watch the same tv programes as our satilite gives us some american channels to like abc ect.

we have in the recent years since there has been more peace in ireland we have had a large ammount of rforiegn nationals such as polish. they have brought their foods to our superparkets. we eat mostly the same foods. we have a stew that would really be our national dish made with potatoes,onion,meat,carrots and gravy. sound discusting but tastes ok.

send me a message if you want to know more about the history ect as i done a project for uni about the history.

Exactly the same as the U.S..re clothes

All western countries are similar ireland is no different.

Plus it does seem that being irish in the USA is a default for not knowing where your ancestors are from, No offence to yourself , i am sure you are right.
