Reading tonight of the Irish who died at Ground Zero in 2001. Of the 3000 victims, a third were Irish, or of Irish heritage When a mother tried to locate her son by his Claddagh ring, the rescue team informed her that they had found “hundreds” of the Irish rings in the rubble https://t.co/AMQ0sa3spi #IrishHeritage #GroundZero #RememberingVictims #IE
A lot of the angry responses to my post appear to be confused about Irishness. They think it’s only available to people whose families on both sides have lived in Ireland for generations. Those people are certainly Irish but so are many people of Irish heritage who were born #IrishHeritage #CulturalIdentity #Inclusion #IE
