I'd say it has a lot to do with a simple lifestyle wherby the only care a man has, is the bread on the table and the pint of stout at the weekend's and sure if you can slip one or two in during the week all the better!!! Other countries lifestyles are much too complicated and serious....but I'm sad to say chaps that Ireland is changing...becoming very work orientated in this new tech climate and if we don't be careful we'll lose that well-developed sense of history as seen through 800-year-old eyes... that ebbie talks about. Just my threepence worth...
