Ireland is a rather small country with a population of just under four million people. But in the United States, there are around 40 million people that claim to have Irish blood. There are also many people of Irish ancestry in Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. How did the Irish come to be so spread out around the world?
Since joining the European Union in 1973, Ireland has become a very prosperous country. Before that, however, Ireland was always one of Europe's poorest countries. The Irish were often forced to leave their country to look for work. Many left in the middle of 19th century,when disease hit the Irish potato crop. Potatoes were the staple food of the Irish. Many were faced with the choice of either leaving their homeland or starving to death.
Among those that left Ireland at this time was a man called Kennedy. He settled in Boston, the city with the largest Irish population in the U.S., where he become a saloonkeeper. His son ,Joseph,grew up to be a millionaire and U.S. ambassador to Britain. His son,John F. Kennedy, became President of the United States.
Today about 40 million U.S. citizens claim Irish ancestry. Irish-Americans can boast at least three U.S Presidents: John F. Kennedy,Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. Irish-Americans are very proud of their roots. Many become interested in tracing their family history,and even travel to Ireland to visit the place where their ancestors lived. Ronald Reagan,who was Irish on his father's side, made an official visit to Ireland in 1984. While he was there, he took the opportunity to visit the home of his ancestors in Country Tipperary, in central Ireland.
Irish-Americans like to keep the traditions of Ireland alive. The cities with the largest Irish-American populations―Boston, New York, and Chicago―have many Irish pubs, where you can drink Guinness, Ireland's famous dark beer, and listen to live bands playing traditional music on instruments such as violins, whistles and bagpipes. The best-known day in the Irish calender is March 17th. This is St. Patrick's Day, the day that commemorates the saint who brought the Christian religion to Ireland. In these and many other cities, this day is marked by large parades, music, dancing and street parties. The national colour of Ireland is green, and so on St. Patrick's Day celebrations are bigger and noisier in North America than in Ireland itself. The Irish community in Tokyo also organizes a St. Patrick's Day parade, which goes along Omote Sando.
