Guide to Renting an Irish Holiday Homeby Steve WoodwardRenting one of the many Irish holiday homes that are now available will provide you with the chance to explore this beautiful island at your own pace. However, if you have never actually rented such accommodation before when on vacation below we offer some tips to ensure that you have a great time.Tip 1 - Most of the holiday homes for rent in Ireland are owned by private individuals and so the standard in which they are maintained can vary greatly from one property to the next. If you are considering renting a holiday home for your next vacation then do so through a reputable agent who requires and insists on high standards of maintenance and care on the properties they have on their books.Tip 2 - You should be aware that when it comes

I've called this Mam's traditional Shepherd's Pie, but that refers to me, not my Mam, who uses Bisto or a mix to make hers. No disrespect to Mam of course, as they are very good, but I prefer the made from scratch version myself! :) I think most Irish Mammies have their own version of this common dish and this is mine.I get lots of requests for more Irish foods and as this was something I was born eating and seems to be just as popular today as when I left Ireland in '89, it seems like a perfect Irish dish!Kids love this one and it's really quite nutritionally balanced with protein, carbs and bite-sized veggies galore! You can make up individual pies which the kids love and you can also freeze them in advance. I often make up lots of little pies and freeze them so if I am out Daddy has

At a World Brewing Convention in the States, the CEOs of various brewing organizations retired to the bar at the end of each day's conference. Bruce, CEO of Fosters, shouted to the Barman, "In 'Strylya, we make the best bloody beer in the world, so pour me a bloody Fosters, mate."

Dear Useless Men, With St. Paddy's day lurking around the corner, why is it that the Irish are so "lucky"? Leprachaun's are indeed of Irish descent and I've never really thought being so small with orange hair and having only 1 outfit as "lucky"... please fill me in. Looking 4 My Pot of Gold Dear Looking 4 My Pot of Gold, You ask an interesting question. What is the luck of the Irish? For starters Ireland has had its share of Civil wars and rebellions throughout its history. Be it religious or political differences there have been violent repercussions. Ireland also partakes in several sports like Rugby, football and hurling which require a certain amount of roughing. Rugby is dangerous and one has to not only athletic, but tough as nails.

If you ever wondered how undemocratic the EU can be, then just reflect on how they simply HATE referendums. They much prefer the dodgy types like Berlusconi, a man who can win elections even if half the state prosecutors want him in jail!So the EU mandarins have turned their gaze towards Ireland, where a referendum is to take place on the Constitutional Treaty that is supposed to be something else! They have helped to try to fix the outcome by "suggesting" it would be a good idea if Bertie Ahern went before the poll took place. Daniel Hannan poses this on his Telegraph blog.Why did Bertie Ahern stand down as Ireland’s Prime Minister? Alright, because he is facing corruption allegations, but why did he resign now? The Guardian’s Henry McDonald, who knows a thing or two about Irish polit

HOLLYWOOD – What better way to wrap up a series of film columns on the Irish (earlier reading: part one; part two) than with an ode to the ultimate Irish storyteller? Dublin-born Jim Sheridan has brought some of the most influential Irish films to the big screen. His writer-director ways paid off in spades when he was nominated for an Oscar at the age of 40 on his first film attempt, “My Left Foot: The Story of Christy Brown,” in 1989. The mission of Rachel Faith – the Hollywood-based Silver Screen Indie Queen for HollywoodChicago.com – is to help avoid the “beige” film experience by providing easily accessible information on indie film, film festival favorites and must-see Hollywood classics.

Bertie Ahern, the second longest-serving Prime Minister of Ireland, has quit. Some people are after him for allegedly pocketing money that he shouldn't have. He said he would be "comprehensively dealing with these matters at the tribunal" and denied any wrongdoing. "Never in all the time that I served in politics have I ever put my personal interest ahead of the public good," he added. "I have never received a corrupt payment...I have done no wrong and wronged no one".These are fighting words ready for fighting talk. Irish Prime Ministers are often accused of trousering the treasury. It seems part of Irish politics. Ahern says he never put his personal interest ahead of the public good. Can it be infered he put it two steps behind? He has never received a corrupt payment, he says. Has he r

Michael O'Leary head of Ryanair, has failed to back his own horse, 'Hear the Echo' in the Irish Grand National. The odds; 33-1. The horse won in fine form beating 'Royal County Star' the favourite at 6-1."I thought he was going out for a run to keep himself warm," said Mr. O'Leary. He described himself as "gobsmacked" after the result. He even attempted to deter people from backing the horse themselves.Mr. O'Leary's business judgement was completely lacking this day and he is not known from shying away from a challenge. He also took delight in accepting the trophy from P.M. Mr. Ahern who is often at logger heads with Mr. Ryan on government policy. Source: Reuters

HOLLYWOOD – Someone once said there are two kinds of people: “Those who are Irish and those who wish they were Irish.” While mom claimed I was the first, being an American for a few generations tossed me into the “mutt” category.

What I think: OK, I know I haven't blogged for a long while, and I will get around to doing a "normal" post at sometime in the near future (I promise), but I want to take this opportunity to spread the word about an Irish tourist who went missing in Stockholm last Saturday night. John Aherne was over from Ireland, visiting his friend Karl.  During an evening out together with a group of friends, John decided to leave the group and head back to Karl's (Karl had given him some spare keys). He stopped for a nightcap at the restaurant on the ground floor of Karl's flat. While he was there, he just popped out for a smoke - leaving his coat and mobile at the bar - and has not been seen since. This was in the southern part of the city, on Katarina Bangata.I "know" Karl through the discussion f

However, behind the crass frivolity of green beer and seasonal shamrocks lies a heartfelt message of goodwill and social justice, which is as compelling today as it was fifteen centuries ago. - 2004-03-01 Friend of PR Web - 1

Estabamos Carlos Alberto, Shabbyra, Dave (el dueño del bar), Mike (un inglés), Naama (una israelita) y yo en el fondo del bar jugando pool con el bar cerrado... De película si o no? Anyway... el día de San Patricio (osea ayer) tomé como loco y cuando la fiesta se ponía brava llegó serenazgo a jodernos la vida. Sin embargo, hubieron unos serenos que tenían un poquito de pilas... Uno no salió muy alegre que digamos... pero al otro si le gustó la foto. Me veo tan gay en esa foto...

Happy St. Patrick's Day!Like any good Irish girl, I made sure to wear my green today, but I tried to get out of making our corned beef and cabbage. I asked Dave, "Wouldn't you like a nice lamb stew this year?" He promptly turned his face into a pout, and so it was decided. Corned beef and cabbage it is.Even then, I didn't put much of an effort into even finding a recipe, I went with the first one I found. Slacker. If you yourself have ever made it, you know that there isn't much to it, so I wasn't worried. We picked up a lovely brisket from the butcher (and they even gave me a nice thermal bag!!) and went home. I'd even planned to make it Sunday night, but got started later than I planned, (movies and cupcakes with a girlfriend will do that) so I broke it into two parts.Sunday night, I tos

Last year, some of the facts on my Peever ancestry in Ireland were incorrect. My grandfather, Lindsay Peever was born in Pembroke, Canada around 1900. My greatgrandfather, James Peever was born in Poulawaddra  in 1866 near Tralelee, Ireland. I would like to thank Kevin (Peever?) for that information.The above picture is the old Peever homestead which is still standing in Poulawaddra.My mother and I were both born in Pembroke, Ontario. It is a scenic small city on the Ottawa River about 90 miles from Ottawa. I spent many a summer at my grandfather's cottage fishing, swimming and having fun. I was lucky to have such a wonderful childhood connected with the great outdoors. Many children never get that chance.I grew up in Barrie, Ontario and both my

Being a big fan of the 419 Eater website the opportunity to give some spamming douchebag some shit is one I take at every opportunity, especially when its to my personal hotmail account that I rarely give out to anyone other than close friends and is obscure enough to lead me to the source of a leak.

To drinkers, St. Patrick's Day is an occasion that holds an almost religious significance. In fact, some drunk in a bar many St. Patrick's Days ago once told us that the occasion was rooted in some sort of Catholic tradition. He described a highly improbable scenario involving snakes having infested Ireland, and a saint named Patrick coming along to drive them out like some sort of pest control superman. Being that this entire business reminded us of an awful Jon Voight movie out of theaters by then that we had hoped to put out of our minds as well, we proceeded to move to the other end of the bar. Guinness brewery has been pushing the idea of making St. Paddy's an official holiday, and we are all for it, but even if they're not successful, to us St. Patrick's Day still has a special stat

As soon as I got married to "The Missus Herself" I had to learn Scottish, but since this is St. Patty's day I guess I should take a stab at learning Irish as well! 10. You can never have enough... NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THE OVERLY RELIGIOUS, POLITICAL OR STUPID!

It’s St. Patty’s Day again already. Where does the time go? I’m going to kick back and relax today, because I’m actually half-Irish and, well, I need a break from the depressing garbage I’ve been wading through month in and month out. I bet you all do, too. In that [...]

For this installment of Music Monday, Kat has asked us what our musical "?" is. For me, in the last six or eight years, my "?" has been traditional musics. From bluegrass to Irish and Scottish Celtic, from the U.S. to Europe to Africa, I've really been interested in traditional sounds. Groups like Moodfaruka, Afro-Celt Sound System, and Native Flute Ensemble often fill my ears. (Do I sound like a musical snob like Tim Robbins' character in High Fidelity? Probably.) So, for this week - and conveniently in conjunction with St. Patrick's Day - I present the group that brought traditional Irish music back from the grave: The Chieftains.For more than 40 years, The Chieftains have been making some of the highest quality Celtic music around. Their legend has grown so that these days it is

I love this sterling silver hand stamped pendant by Green Leaf and Olive. Simple, delicate and totally adorable, it is the perfect amount of Irish for a non-Irish girl like myself! Only $28!! Happy Saint Patricks Day!

Happy St. Patrick's day!!!It is indeed the day of leprechauns and we thought we would wake you up the Irish way. No not by drinking green beer.
