Are her parents Irish?

How does someone grow up in Dingle and feel British? I must have missed that Orange hall when I was there.

I see she was born in England - are her parents English?

Quality

[armaghniac]

Bad day for Ireland on the showjumping front, one of the sports where Ireland has a good chance. The first horse, brought in to replace O'Connor lost a horseshoe and the rider didn't finish his round. The Irish team then withdrew as they had no chance.

Irish times

"Pre-Games expectations were that Harrington would add another podium place to that of the lightweight rowers, the women's coxless four and welterweight boxer, Aidan Walsh."

5 medals would be a bonus

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

It's already one of Ireland's best Olympics

[armaghniac]

The Italians are having a good run. You expect to see Jamaica winning the 100m relay, not Italy.

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

Italy really improved over last 30 years. New Zealand by far most impressive when considering their population

San Marino I think are leading in medals per capita - about one for every 11,000 people.
