As an Irishman, fair play to the English. They always have good things to say about us. I’ve softened up my view of England and the English over the years .. they really aren’t as bad as the world seems to paint them. Some of the most tolerant and friendly people I’ve ever come across. Thanks for taking note of Paddy’s day and celebrating it with us. ☘️ 🇮🇪 ❤️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Good to see, I'm English but a Guinness tonight I think.

The Irish will become a small minority in their own country; you only have to look at England to see that.

If you ever go to Ireland and travel through the country every town and village has a GAA sports ground and that’s why the Irish punch above their weight on the sporting international stage 👍. I just hope that continues and my parents are Irish and I was born in London but have been going back to Ireland for as long as I remember. Happy St Patrick’s day everyone 👍 🇮🇪

This is great watching the Irish out enjoying St Patrick’s day ☘️💕

[outoforbit]

The Irish are using St Patrick's day more to celebrate the resounding No vote in the referendum last week. We don't reduce St Patrick's day to a rugby win. Mr Portillo, we are not that shallow.

[petersmith]

Fun fact: northern irish protestants started the annual celebrations in britains american colonies.

[darrendelaney]

Really like Michael Portillo. Anytime his shows come on tv my dad is addicted to them. A man always very welcome in Ireland.

I think if we focus on what unites us, over what the politicians say divides us, we'll all be better off....! Cheers to everyone, drink up, have a laugh and a bit of craic....☘🍻🙏

The Irish people have defeated the Dublin government's mischievous plans to undermine the Irish Constitution . This is far more significant than rugby 'victories'!

Happy St Patrick's Day to all of Scotland 🇫🇷

In the 1840's apart from the over million Irish dying due to famine and abandonment by the British government at the time, over a million Irish people emigrated to North America and further afield. They were not economic emigrants, they were fleeing from starvation.
