We had a dream ... he’s one of us

IN THEIR recently published book More Stuff Irish People Love, Colin Murphy and Donal O’Dea point out that “a fleeting reference to Ireland … in a Hollywood movie or Australian soap stirs a bit of pride in us. We almost treat it as though we’d unexpectedly heard our name on the radio — Hey!”.
The same could be said of our love of people with even the tiniest drop of Irish blood in them.
