Background on Ireland and the Conflict The history of Ireland can be traced back extensively with various groups laying claim to it. This history is very convoluted and long, yet for Ireland, a very important part of its history lies in the interactions between it and Britain. Over the centuries, there has been much repression, conflict and animosity that to this day ravages the Emerald Isle. These interactions can be looked all the way back to 1169 when the Normans, who later became modern…

However, on the other hand it could have acted to almost undermine the movement itself, as an organisation which couldn’t control its members and supporters, and reverted…

My grandmother is originally from Ireland and the only reason she ever came to America is because she found a man she really loved. That is the extent of all I know about my heritage and family history on that side.

Ireland’s Culture Dia duit! Hello! The culture of Ireland is extremely interesting to me, even though it is not a big part of my family heritage. I am drawn closely to Irish fables and music. The music can be upbeat and jolly or it can be haunting, chilling you to the soul. My mother’s family is where the Irish of my heritage comes from. Most likely, my Irish ancestors came to America during the potato famine. The majority of my heritage is German but I feel more closely related to my Irish…

The Irish culture is especially important to me because my father’s side of the family respects the Irish culture, even if we don’t perform all of the practices.
