Also, a tip for Americans visiting Ireland:
Never, ever mention there that you're Irish, or part Irish. They know. They assume every American visiting them has Irish ancestry and they don't give a bollix.
You're not Irish, you're a Plastic Paddy to them if you pretend to be.
Conversely, you will gain respect for restraining yourself from mentioning it, especially if your surname is Irish.
