I do not take a lot of pride of alot of things or people being Irish, but proud of this woman and all she has achieved and her ability to reach so many people when she speaks and wants to express. This subject is one i totally understand as i grew up rural Ireland and now back living there, we have lost what she proposes but i hope what she's expressing, becimes reality again.
