Being Irish

"Ain't" it amazing how many people are Irish today??? Or rather, isn't it amazing how many people claim to be Irish today? Being Irish must be a truly great heritage. Or is it?
How is it different from being say Italian?? Does any one know or have the answer to this?

In the meantime, for those of us who trace our genealogy back to somewhere in the Isles,

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

My Granddaddy Daugherty died when I was about five. I only remember a little about him. He is my link to St. Patrick's Day and the beautiful land that is Ireland.
