I remember as a child we used to look forward to receiving our shamrock in the post, sent over from Ireland.Can still picture the box with the customs label on it.
I know at least 3 lifers are in Ireland: Nornirish; KBslittlesis and el-pietro. If we go back as far as grandparents,how many of the 32 counties are represented here on CL life?
To start the ball rolling: Father: Clones Co Monaghan; Grandfather: Co. Tyrone, Grandmother: Sallins Co.Kildare

My partner, from Kerry, tells me that I had the true Irish experience. We had to leave Kerry to come back to London for work.
Happy St Patrick's Day to all. May the craic be mighty.
