Being Irish edited by Paddy Louge

‘Being Irish’ p birish resents 100 people – from Taoiseach Bertie Ahern, to UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, to writer Frank McCourt – giving expression to that special something that is (more or less) instantly recognisable as Irish; to detect and describe changes in it; and to record the rich tapestry that is Irish identity today.
