You can probably thank an ancestor of mine, Colonel William Blacker, for enhancing the gene pool in the west by sending some 7,000 Catholics from the Portadown area your way after the Battle of the Diamond. Think about it you might all be distantly related to Tony Fearon.

As a matter of interest any idea if there are records of where they went?
Around 2,000 O'Donnells and their people (Gallaghers, McGinley, O'Cleirigh, Devir, Scanlans, Cafferkeys, Conways etc.) moved to Ballycroy around the same time.

I prefer the ín myself. The Anglicised version just adds extra letters.

Feck no, I'm partly from of the stock that ended up in south west Mayo.
I suppose we should thank Cromwell for driving refugees into the province too :P

BESTIALITY

BESTIALITY
Thats just for the Stag parties from other provinces.
in a word, verbose.
We also have the best county emblems in Ireland. And nicknames too.
The original Irish Republic.
Jingoistic. If a province can be such a thing.
All good Connacht men and women know that Ballaghaderreen is in county . . . whoa, is that the time? Must dash!
Can smell a decent slice of boxty at forty paces...
Ability to soak up one own's bodyweight in rain water.
Ability to walk at a permanent 45 degree angle into driving wind without falling over.
Longing to annex Clare back into it's rightful province thereby increasing the Connacht "Lebensraum".
Wanting to put anyone who says "Connaught" in front of a firing squad.
Abroad. :(
Loves cycling

Will always invite a visitor in for a cup of tea
Has driven home from the pub cause its only up the road

Always thought Connacht folk were more vocally wrapped up in the province they come from than is the case with other provinces. Maybe it's just pride in place, which is fair enough. But you're right, it's probably just the sort of rambling of that other loon that put jingoism into my head.

Ulster says no. But by way of evidence for my statement, take a step back and look at the thread we are posting in here. Started by a Connacht man.

Aye the Fermanagh accent is a bit strange alright. We don't eat boxty in Tyrone though. We like our food to have an actual flavour/taste!

Now you are talking.
Boxty's not just a Connacht thing lads!
It was an All-Ireland thing, but nowadays only the last bastions remain in the west.
I am surprised it is not the official meal of Sinn Féin!
Them boyos would be into smoked salmon nowadays to go with the Armanis.
