POTATO
The humble potato has played a pivotal role in Ireland's history and culture...For centuries the potato was the key crop in Ireland.The potato blight of the 1840's resulted in one of the worst famines of Europe.One million people died of the famine the cause of a political crisis in Britain and emigration.One of the most famous (fictitious) products was Scarlett O'Hara of "Gone With the Wind"

WHISKEY!
When its Scotch its spelt Whiskey,but if its Irish it is Whiskey!Yes! The Irish famously fond of their grog and produce a vast range.The lack of peat in the brewing process makes it taste lighter than its Scottish counterpart.The liqueur Bailey's Irish cream has also become a huge hit in recent years...

GUINNESS
THE DARK CREAMY BEER IS SYNONYMOUS WITH IRELAND.GUINNESS WHICH HAS MADE BILLIONS OF POUNDS FOR IRELAND WAS FIRST BREWED BY ARTHUR GUINNESS IN 1759 IN ST.JAMES GATE BREWERY IN DUBLIN...THE CHARACTER OF THE DRINK HAS CHANGED DRAMATICALLY SINCE THEN,BUT THE GUINNESS CONTINUES TO SET THE BENCHMARK FOR WHAT A STOUT SHOULD TASTE LIKE.....GUINNESS (NOW OWNED BY LIQUOR GIANT DIAGEO) FLOWS IN ALL CORNERS OF THE WORLD....BUT THE MOST NOTABLY IN WEST AFRICA,WHERE THERE IS A BELIEF THAT IT IMPROVES SEXUAL PROWESS....

DUBLINERS!

COURTESY T2...TO RAISE THE TOAST FOR A FEW IRISHMEN.........

Pierce Brosnan
He would be known as the sexiest Irishman alive,if he weren't so busy being the most beutiful man on earth(or some thing thereabout).Born in County Louth Ireland BROSNAN SHOT HIMSELF TO FAME AS TV PRIVATE EYE REMIGTON STEELE.BUT IRONICALLY IT WAS MUCH AWAITED turn as the most English Englishman,james bond that catapulted him into the biggest league.Frequently rated by bond fanatics as the best actor to play the role after Sean Connery,Brosnan traded on his smooth-talking style in non bond films too.

Roy Keane
"He was without question the best player I had"-Alex Fergusson on roy keane.can anyone say anything more?this collosus of the english premier league was born and bred in cork.he signed for brian clough's nottingham forest when he was 18.it was, however with sir Alex 's man u team of the 1990's that keane made his name dominating the midfield.the foul tempered irishman----who lead man u to the treble in 1999-----is now the manager of Sunderland.................

Bono
One of the most enduring and successful rock band's on the planet.u2 is certainly ireland's most successful musical export.....bono(real name paul hewson)kicked off his career in 1976 when he formed U2 in dublin.......originally riding the post-punk period,the refined its style into a distinctive brand of stadium rock.the 1987 album the joshua tree is considered their best album,ranking 26 in rolling stone magazine's greatest 500 albums of all time........

James Joyce
This dubliner's stream of consciousness may not qualify as light reading,but joyce remains the most famous of Irishmen.although he only spent the early years of his life in dublin,ireland and catholicism are central to his writings...the man responsible for "ulysses" and "portrait of the artist" as a young man remained unappreciated in ireland for most of his years.....

TRENT JOHNSTON
WHo's he? we hear some of you cry.Tut Tut you haven't been paying attention to the World Cup!Well,Trent Johnston is the captain of the Irish cricket team who not only led his team to that nail-biting tie against Zimbabwe but also sent Pakistan packing(back home).An Australian of Irish origin,Johnston learnt his craft at New South Wales where some of his team-mates also play the game.Vaughan be warned Team Ireland could Teach Team England a thing or two about playing cricket.....
