According to William O'Brien's "History of Irish Sweepstakes" the winner was Walter Bass, who was always know as being lucky. Records indicate the horse, Blarney Boy, was a long shot so Walter sold half the ticket for $10,000, but Blarney won by a nose over Jerry of Kilkenny. Jerry of Kilkenny was flying down the home stretch when Blarney kicked in the after burner and closed the gap. This was won by st maries

a constituency is an area that elects 3, 4 or 5 members of the Irish Parliament

That is a complex question to answer. You would need to be very familiar with Irish history and the past situations to have a full understanding. Things are much improved, but there is still mistrust between some parts of society. Some of this is endemic and almost part of the culture in itself. People are in effect brought up not to trust the other side, rather than taking people on their merits. This is not true in all cases and there are many positive relations between the different sides of the community. Levels of violence are far less now, but there are people still there intent on causing trouble, but they have very little support. So things are radically better now than they have been for many years, and things are continuing to improve. Issues that are still of contention include things like marches, recognition of the heroes of one side, that are not seen as heroes by the other. There are still some areas of politics that need to be finalised, like policing and justice, though that should be resolved soon, as this answer is made on the 18th of October 2009.

The only way to get to Ireland from abroad in the 12th century, which is when John De Courcy came to Ireland, would be by ship. That is how he and the other Normans got to Ireland.

George Moore lived next to Oliver St John Gogarty in Ely Place off Stephens white. Both were famous writers and both rather eccentric. All the doors of Ely Place were then painted white. Moore painted his door green so that the drunken Gogarty would not come knocking on it, thinking it to be his own door. Gogarty then painted his door red so that the drunken Moore would not come knocking on his door! So started the fashion."

There is also a story that the women were tired of their husbands going in the wrong doors when they were drunk, going up the wrong stairs, into the wrong bedroom and sleeping with the wrong woman so they painted the doors different colors to help them distinguish between them.

When Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria, died, the Queen ordered all doors in the entire British Empire to be painted black. The Irish, being opposed to caving to such orders, immediately painted their doors as colorfully as was possible at the time.

From the name of the village of Blarney in which it stands. Blarney comes from the Gaelic "an Blarna" meaning the plain.

When the Irish first began to come to America they were very much looked down upon. In fact the Irish weren't even considered white at that time in America. In the racial hierarchy of American culture they were regarded to be below the Chinese and Black people. This is all explained in the book How the Irish Became White . The Irish were called violent, stupid, and drunkards. The only real reason the Irish were so mistreated in their early years in America is because they were yet another ethnic group flooding the shores. They took jobs from previous citizens, changed neighborhoods, and were unaccustomed to the new country. They held onto their culture for dear life and fought assimilation. Pretty much the same as any racial "boom" in America. Pretty much the same as today.

The Irish, Welsh and Scottish people were all genetically Celts. Until 1921, when Ireland became known as the Irish Free State after battling for independence from Britain for generations, Ireland was part of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

Waterford is in the Republic of Ireland, in the southeast of the country. See the image below, showing all of Ireland, with Northern Ireland in pink and the county of Waterford in dark green, and the rest of the Republic of Ireland in light green.

Green is the color associated with Ireland. It's nickname is also the "emerald isle" which connotes green. However orange is also associated with the northern part of Ireland and the Irish flag has both of those colors on it.

Irish Nationalists were angry at England because the English invaded their country, confiscated their land and planted it with English and Scottish settlers, prohibited Catholics from owning land or participating in their own government or commerce, outlawed the Irish language, and did their best to erase Irish culture.

Much of the above is true, there was also the Irish famine. However the above answer is also a bit one sided, the treatment of the Irish was not really any different from the treatment of the lower classes in England and Scotland (and indeed the treatment meted out by other countries to their citizens) over the centuries. It was more a class war than a war against the English people themselves. Remember Ireland was annexed by Henry II in 1467.

England had not helped Ireland enough during the potato famine.

It would be difficult to say what is the most popular instrument in Ireland. Music is a big part of Irish culture and many instruments are used like the normal ones of guitars, drums etc. to ones more associated with Ireland like uileann pipes, tin whistles, bodhráns, accordions and many others.

They seem to be located predominately in the South Eastern United States.

Answer 1 There is NO fighting between Northern Ireland and the Republic. The conflict was between two groups in Northern Ireland. One wanted to stay part of the UK. The other wanted to leave the UK to join up with the rest of Ireland again. They have now signed a peace agreement. Answer 2 Long ago, Britain conquered Ireland (the reason both English and Irish are spoken in Ireland). Many people wanted Ireland to be independent again.. So they fought against the British (the Irish War of Independence). There are 32 counties in Ireland, and in the northeast there were 4 where they native Irish had been driven out and the British had settled so that they were a majority. These settlers said they didn't want to be part of an independent Ireland and would rebel unless they were allowed to split off from the rest of the country. They were called unionists, and the people who wanted independence were called Nationalists. In the end, Britain said they would give back 26 counties out of the 32 that are in the island of Ireland. They would keep six of the 9 counties in the province of Ulster (the 4 that had Unionist majorities plus 2 that had Nationalist majorities). There was a group of people in Ireland who wanted all the counties back, and the other side of Irish that wanted to take the deal. This resulted in a Civil War and the people who said that they would take the 26 back won. The Nationalists in the Six Counties weren't happy, especially as they were discriminated against by the Unionists. So they fought the Unionists and the British to join up again with the rest of Ireland. Fortunately, there is now a peace agreement.

As a result of the Norman invasion in 1169. This was done to help an Irish king regain his throne.

The same way the rest of the western world does.
