I was thinking it should be raised to 21, as there are too many issues with alcohol abuse with young people.

Drunk driving
Physical violence conflicted by alcohol
Kids needing their stomachs being pumped
Deaths due to alcholic poisoning
incompetence in the work force, due to being hung over.
Hang overs been considered as an acceptable reason to miss days from work.

Should 21 or possibly older be the legal age to purchase alcohol in Ireland?

yes 21 is a more realistic age. do it now not next year, now. make the fines £1000 for obtaining or serving

I mean if I go to Ireland right now I’ll and tell people I’m Irish, I’ll get the typical witty response,"me **** you are, and I’m the Emperor of Offaly". Even though I have citizenship through my grandparents. Yet if someone prosperous or well known such as Barack Obama and JFK with great-great grandparents and the like, say they’re Irish nothing is said about it wtf? Barack Obama is not even 1/32 Irish, and I’m not Irish?

To be honest, I don’t think you can claim be Irish when you haven’t lived there. You are of Irish ancestry, maybe and that’s only through grandparents. And was that one set or two, even? Had you been born in Ireland and moved to America as a baby, then I’d say you had a point. Had you been born to American parents in Ireland and raised there, again I’d say you’d have a case - you’d be American/Irish. Had you moved to Ireland as a child and lived there all your life, I may not disagree if you considered yourself Irish, having absorbed its culture and were patriotic enough to call yourself Irish. But in your case, if everyone in America claimed to be of the nationality of their grandparents, that would make everyone in America, non-American. And that’s another can of worms!…….

Sadly my much loved Nan died on sunday. At the request of my grandad all 23 grandchildren are going to wear ireland football tops to the funeral as she was irish and absolutely loved football. We want to keep things as cheap as possible because we need to buy quite a few. Any suggestions will be welcome!

Search ebay for the shirt then email those who have ebay stores as they are the most likely to be able to get large numbers quickly. They will most likely be replicas not official merchandise but I doubt that is a concern for you.

I’m looking for a 4-channel amp to drive 4 speakers. I found this (http://www.crutchfield.com/p_136J23204/JL-Audio-J2-320-4.html?tp=115). Its a class b amp. Ive read online that class b amps are notorious for distortion. Is the distortion really that bad? Should I be concerned? for should i spend the extra money and go with a class AB amp?

it a jl so its a good amp their known for sound quality but if your a sq freak them you might want the AB but it shouldnt be that bad

Uses no oil or water , no smoke. Can you buy chain and sprockets, and how much .

The issue is likely to be a bad chain tensioner, but if you’re going to take the cover off you should do the chain, the guides, and the tensioner. I wouldn’t do anything with sprockets.

Technically i’m already an Irish citizen, it just hasn’t been authorized. My father and grandmother are both Irish citizens. I know a certain number of residency years are required before citizenship, but I was wondering if that applied to people like me who are direct descendants.

If your father was an Irish citizen then no residency is required. How you go about registering is a matter of where your father was born.

Does anyone know of some affordable, but also secure accommodation for the 2010 world cup in South Africa? I know there are tons of accommodation sites around, but most of them are rather expensive or the shown accommodation is unavailable. Thank you.

you can come to mauritius but book your ticket for the world cup.then from mauritius you can go to south africa as some tours offer packages there.

1. About what percentage of Irish people is purely Irish descent?

2. About what percentage of Irish people has Scottish or Welsh ancestry?

3. Do most Irish people consider them Celtic(Gaelic) descent?

No one is 100% anything in my opinion

I am very interested in renting a motorhome and seeing ireland, there are also festivals to attend but have heard that the roads are quite difficult in ireland, especially for a big vehicle. anyone has any experience with this?
Im all for a camper van but am worried as to where to park, can i jsut park anywhere? Anyone has any suggestions as to rental companies? Im looking for campervans with automatic transmission if possible! thanks!

Many of the rural roads are single track and very narrow with grass growing in the middle lol. Most of the roads where I live are like that. Some roads like the Healey pass and Connor pass near the coast in Kerry you would not want to go up in a motor home but generally in the villages and towns you’d be fine I’m sure.
