It’s fair to say that Irish eyes will be smiling for the grand festivities this Wednesday 17^th March. St Patrick’s day has been adopted around Australia as the time of the year when both the Irish as well as every Australian come together to celebrate everything green and good that encompasses this wonderful day. In my home town of Sydney, there is no shortage of everything Irish with proud Irish pubs boasting their heritage with brilliant Irish food and beer as well as colourful parades and Irish dancers happily doing a jig or two down the cobbled streets of The Rocks area.

For this wonderful day we all join our Irish friends in celebrating their long and rich heritage so to get us all in the mindset of all things Irish, here are some fun and interesting facts about Ireland to get you in the spirit this St Patrick’s Day:

• An old legend says that, while Christ will judge all nations on judgment day, St. Patrick will be the judge of the Irish
• Historians believe St. Patrick’s real name was “Maewyn Succat”
• Fact from the last Irish census, Sean was the most popular boys name and Emma was the most popular girls name
• The famous Titanic ship was built in Belfast
• There are more mobile phones in Ireland than there are people
• Ireland has no snakes.
• The longest place name in Ireland is Muckanaghederdauhaulia, in County Galway
• One of the most popular radio shows in rural Ireland is still the weekly broadcast of local obituaries
