Did you know about Ireland?

Are you aware that leprechauns are a myth and a legend? Some people these days still believe that somewhere out there in Ireland is a real leprechaun.

Have you ever wondered what the Irish celebrate? I have heard that in Ireland they have a pancake festival!
In Ireland they have potato pancakes, beef, sea food, cabage and pasta. Some other food in Ireland that we kiwis haven’t tasted or seen are water birds, soda bread and black pudding.

A famous person most people know in Ireland is Brain O’Driscoll. He is famous because he is the captain of the rugby Ireland team and he leads the team well too. Terry Wogan is a very famous and important person because he is an Irish radio and television broadcaster and he holds British citizenship.

Did you know that fun activities in Ireland are Irish dancing, shopping, fat Tuesday, golf, pancake festivals, the Dublin wheel, the ice bowl, running, walking and hiking.

Not many people know but the four-leaf clover is special, the first leaf means hope, the second luck, the third faith and the fourth love.
