    That's a shame, because this video is full of misinformation and is incorrect, and I live in Ireland. We did not become an independent country in the 1600s (I have no clue where this video got that information from), though we did have several FAILED rebellions for hundreds of years. We finally officially left the United Kingdom in 1921. That is TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTY YEARS after this video claims. Please do not share this video with students in future and make sure that you share correct information.

    Green is my favourite colour ☘️ Ireland, Land, Nature, Emeralds, Dresses & prosperity 💗 I’m Irish with Hazel Green Eyes & Natural Reddish Brown Hair. I’m so proud to see our blood fighting so hard in Australia 🇦🇺 for Freedom! Fighting for what’s right. They’ve been a big inspiration for the rest of us. Who knew sending so many to a country would bite them in the butt one day. They don’t call us the fighting Irish for nothing!😉👍 ☘️ ❤️

    I wear green and my family does also not only on St Patrick's day but most of the time during the year it's a beautiful color and it shows that we are Irish 100% whenever we go to an Irish party we make sure we have an Irish sweater or something in green the show our pride of who we are it's a tradition that I live on forever and we wish everybody a happy saint Patrick's day it's a shame the parade was canceled in New York because it is coronavirus and other places around the USA shame on them they could have still had it and have people have a mask on if they're that afraid of it but anyway who I could say is was start a new day and top of the morning to you 🍀🇨🇮💯🍀

    Somehow I don't think all the people wearing green are Catholics. My last name is McGovern and my father was Catholic. My mother's last name is Scott, and she raised us Presbyterian, which is my faith. I could wear either color. I think I'm going to make my own shirt with the flag of Ireland on it, identifying both Catholic and Protestant.

    Jesus - does this woman know anything about Ireland.. .. English involvement in Ireland goes back to a knight called Strongbow who was invited to Dublin and made virtual lord of the isle.. as a vassal of the King of England that made Ireland de facto possession.. 1641 was a catholic uprising when many protestants were massacred , causing outrage in England. the King was having issues with Parliament at the time and a Civil War broke out. it would not be until that war ended on British mainland that a Parliamentary army was sent to Ireland to subdue the Irish rebels and Royalists who had formed a confederacy. Ireland was brought back into the fold and remained there until 1921. the 6 counties remaining with UK by democratic choice to this day. ** green was often considered an unlucky colour to wear because it was preferred colour of the Fairy Folk - who didn't look kindly on humans wearing it. btw . and st Patrick was British..
