If its used once its too many
Or 'only in Ireland' for things that happen all over the world.

The "luck of the Irish" when something lucky happens. The luck of the Irish was used as an ironic expression of bad luck during the famine in Ireland

I believe that  was a derogatory term used  in the likes of the States , to tar the Irish as a lazy, and drunken race.  For example ,  any money they got,  they got through luck  , they certainly didn't get it  from hard work

Then if anyone else experienced bad luck, they blamed the Irish too.
