I - and there are hundreds of thousands of Irishmen who felt on this subject as I do - have always liked my Celtic countrymen and disliked the English nation; it is a national trait of character, and I cannot help it.

WHAT DOES IRISHMEN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Irishmen

Irish people

The Irish people are a nation and ethnic group who originate in Ireland, an island in northwestern Europe. Ireland has been inhabited for about 9,000 years according to archaeological studies. For most of Ireland's recorded history, the Irish have been primarily a Gaelic people with a similar culture to that of the Highland Scots and the Manx. Anglo-Normans conquered parts of Ireland in the 12th century, while England's 16th/17th century conquest and colonization of Ireland brought a large number of English and Lowland Scots to parts of the island. The Lebor Gabála Érenn, a medieval Christian pseudo-history of Ireland, traces the Irish to key Biblical figures. It says that the Irish people's earliest forebears came to Ireland via Scythia and Iberia. Other medieval texts mention a belief that the Irish all descend from Éber Donn, who appears to have been a god of the underworld. There have been many notable Irish people throughout history. The 6th-century Irish monk and missionary Columbanus is regarded as one of the "fathers of Europe", followed by Kilian of Würzburg and Vergilius of Salzburg. The scientist Robert Boyle is considered the "father of chemistry".
