And I for one suffer no delusions about the side-swipping of the Irish in this regard ending any time soon. But it is possible, in a small forum like this, to curtail it when we anti-Irish remarks occurring in our midst. As the study I linked to points out, it is just these sorts of so-called "jokes" about the Irish that feed the hurtful stereotypes the British hold of the Irish as frauds.

That said, have a grand time and enjoy the craic in Miltown Malbay!
