Not Catholic, though (which could be a problem, eh?), but the same brilliant Irish tendency to manage to be poor under any circumstances. (Hey lads! It's the 1700s and the country is full of open, fertile land that could make us rich for generations! No, THAT'S not comfortable. Let's keep on moving west until we find the most hardscrabble place we can possibly find to put up a still ...)
