Well folks, as someone who lives in Northern Ireland, i find this thread most enlightening, (and apologies for keeping it going)
I must say also, you guys really do know your stuff, and as was said earlier, this guy most likely knows very little about his own ancestry, or even cares.
It's great to see so many level headed people working so hard to keep ties with their respective roots (should they be Irish, Scottish, Ulster-Scots, German or whatever).......
It's true that very few kilts are worn in Ireland or Northern Ireland, except for the pipe band fraternity, but then again, i could probably say the same about Scotland.
I have read this thread from start to finish, and found it to be of great interest.

...brilliant!!!

...and that just about sums him up doesn't it?

It's kinda ironic too though, that the same "young Irishman" was at the time of writing,.. most likely wearing Levis jeans, baseball boots, baseball cap and "I LOVE NY" T-shirt, whilst eating his hamburger and listening to Puff Daddy.
He is what's know in this neck of the woods, as a "slabber".
Keep doing what you love doing guys and girls, and as long as we're free to do it, that's all that matters.
