Thank you to everyone who voted in our online poll on the people, traditions and events that make you proud to be Irish. We'll be featuring some of your comments in the April issue of The Dubliner.
We had a tremendous response to the event we are hosting at Liberty Hall to discuss Irish national identity. We have given away all the free tickets to the debate so sorry if you weren't able to reserve your places. We hope that all readers of The Dubliner enjoy the St. Patrick's Day celebrations next week.
Here is your top ten list of what makes you proud to be Irish.
1. Irish humour and wit
2. Irish national rugby team
3. Folk music
4. GAA
5. James Connolly
6. The peace process in the North
7. Guinness
8. U2
9. Irish breakfast roll
10. Christy Moore
Is being proud of the breakfast roll an example of Irish humour and wit?

i think we could safely swap the breakfast roll (or folk music) for thin lizzy..

I'm looking for the recording of the debate "old nation, new dreams" in Liberty Hall last thursday moderated by Eamon Keane. Can anyone help me to find an audio file of it?
