Gael-Mheiriceánaigh (Irish-Americans) or those with Irish ancestry make up roughly 10% f the US population. A people with the penchant for taking dangerous jobs for low pay, excessive drinking, and the occasional fight coupled with an already bare-knuckled American attitude and you’ve got yourself one hell of a match made in heaven. I mean, name another group of people so dedicated to their heritage that they dye an entire river green. A whole river. Green.
