Its actually not the Harp, it is Brian Borus harp, a very specific harp. Its also in the british Royal family crest next to 3 lions. Do you know where the 3 lions came from? Brian Boru too.
A few points, 1) the harp is our official symbol. The Shamrock is kind of unnofficial but more recognised as being associated with Ireland. 2) Both the border with ROI/NI as well as NI/rest of UK caused problems during Brexit. Otherwise very good video.
i've always wondered what our neighbors on the continent think of my little island country. i assumed none of them knew anything/or cared, we are always in the UK's shadow, being mistaken for them constantly.
Well I have a lot of English friends. There about 210.000 English people living and working in Ireland and I have never heard any complaints about them. You are confusing the Tory elite with the ordinary guy. Remember the same elite attempted to starve Lancashire to death as well as Ireland.
Nah nah the traditional Irish sports are Gaelic Football and Hurling!?! And if don’t know what Hurling is look it up on TH-cam!?! And it’s mental none of the players get paid to play the sport and every summer they fill a stadium with over 80,000 for the passion of the sport!?!
I lived in France, the French people know about Ireland, and they really do think Rugby is the national sport because they know we are so good at it, and poor at football. They assume we eat, drink, read, rugby. There are some "French" who wouldn't even be able to find it on a map.
Been to France 🇫🇷 a few times and found the young French people to be ignorant to people who do not speak the language. Coming from Ireland 🇮🇪 being automatically thought of as British because of our English language is a little offensive to Irish people. I wear my local jersey Irish rugby or Leinster helps a little.
