St Patricks Day

Its Paddy's day tomorrow!

Some little known facts about the fabled St Patrick and the feast day:

• St Patricks day is a national holiday in Montserrat and and the Canadain province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
• St Patrick is the patron saint of 2 countries; Ireland and .....Nigeria!
• St Patrick was Welsh (we'll not that hold that against him!)

Anyway, its a big day in Ireland and in all the Irish ex-pat (no pun intended) locations around the world. From the USA, to Australia, to Italy (more in a moment on that!) revellers will be downing pints of green beer and sprouting shamrocks from all sorts of places.

Back to Italy. In the Irish bars of Rome (well theres at least one http://www.finneganpub.com/) rugby fanatics will be rooting for Ireland to do the same to the Italian rugby team that they did to England - and celebrating St Patricks day at the same time.

Why not celebrate the day with a well chosen Irish gift Irish Gift from Murphy of Ireland
