News from Ireland

In recent Irish news...

Irish high school seniors begin their "leaving exams". Most stress, but if they fail, they can take it again.

World Cup 2010 starts in 2 days. Many Irishmen are depressed. New sport invented in Ireland--it's called Gaelic Soccer. Are the rules different from regular soccer? Nope, except there's a field goal from leftover hurling goals!

Ireland joins U.N. League of Leprechauns. Bono elected president of organization.

Leprechaun catches gold at bottom of the rainbow. Irish Lotto still at 6 million Euro.

Colin Farrell wins Oscar for Best Actor for his role in "Phonebooth"

It rained in Ireland today. Some realize Ireland isn't made of waterproof turf.

Singer/song-writer Chris De Burgh lands in front of Ballymaloe House in helicopter for lunch (this seriously happened). Many staff members are excited. Me? Never heard of the guy. Had a cool helicopter though.

New study finds Ireland has several pubs.

More from Ireland soon...
