The Wish
I caught a little leprechaun, quite wise and very old and he said to me, "You have one wish, would you like my pot of gold?"
"No thank you," was my quick reply, "But how about another... A gift that's truly precious and esteemed above all others?"
He offered then some emeralds, rubies, sapphires, pearls and a host of other treasures that would make your senses whirl!
As I rejected all his list his bright eyes flashed with fire and, angrily, he said to me: "What is it you desire?"
I said:
"A rainbow's far more beautiful than its' supposed treasure and the 'rainbow' that I'm wishing for is priceless beyond measure.
"I'd like to have the dearest friends a person ever had to share in all the good times and help me through the bad...
"To laugh and sing and joke with, love and appreciate as we live life's greatest adventure that would certainly be great!"
"Oh, now I know you're daft!" he said as he ran off with his pot... "to waste your wish on something you have already got!"

While walking along the seafront this morning and seeing all the crowds heading into town for the St. Patrick`s Day Parade I started thinking about absent friends.
This is just a short note to let you know that people in Ireland are thinking about you-all on this special day.Keep well(Frank).

Was listening to Bing Crosby's 'Big Parade on St. Patrick's Day' (in New York) on RTE 1 yesterday and while it's a bit cringeworthy (lots of macushlas and begorra's) I did think of you T...
Happy St. Patricks day to you guys.

Happy Paddy's Day lads for Monday!
Watched Danial O Donnell last night on the TV simply as I could not take my eyes off him! What kind of gobsh*te is he at all... for feck sake he had a lovely cream suit on him like a pair of curtains. Well he was singing some song about clair and your one looked like she was from Ballymun.... Show band music that I remember from Mullinavat back in the day!!!! pure tripe...

Have a lovely weekend lads and enjoy Paddy's day.

Theresa I think it is just because it is falling in Holy Week that the actual mass can't happen on Monday but all other celebrations will be Monday.
I should know when the mass is happening here as I live next door to a church but didn't notice! Maybe it was yesterday?

Maybe not for the parade BB but we promised the kids we would bring them into town alright-the quays have lots of amusements and attractions which was really good fun last time.
Bring the camera! (silly statement-of course he will)
(PM me you or Robbies number if you want to meet up?)
Or just watch out for each other.

All of us here at the office of the Irish Emigrant in Galway wish our readers around the world a very Happy St Patrick's Day.
Again we take pleasure in forwarding St Patrick's Day Greetings from President Mary McAleese.

St Patrick's Day Greetings from President McAleese
Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig ar chlann mhór dhomhanda na nGael, sa bhaile agus ar fud na cruinne, ar ár lá náisiúnta ceiliúrtha.
I am delighted to send St Patrick's Day greetings to all those taking part in this year's celebrations, whether at home in Ireland or around the world. St Patrick's festival is our special opportunity to deepen and celebrate the bonds of heritage and affection which link the global, Irish family and its friends worldwide. It is a great showcase of the Irish love of life and this year, more than any in our recent past, is one to savour with special joy. The welcome return of devolved government to Northern Ireland has brought to the island of Ireland a promising era of peace, prosperity and partnership. Thank you for all the support and encouragement you invested in our long, hard journey to this time of concord. There can be little doubt that the best is yet to come!
I hope that the many new immigrants to Ireland who will be joining the celebrations this year will take inspiration from the most influential immigrant of them all, St Patrick himself. Today his name and that of Ireland are synonymous and each year as we gather in his honour, we can see the widening global reach and richly diverse character of his extensive family. To each one of you I wish a wonderful St Patrick's Day 2008. Enjoy it wherever you are! May St Patrick long continue to bless you, his beloved Ireland and her people.
Mary McAleese President of Ireland
Teachtaireacht La Fhéile Pádraig ón Uachtarán Mhic Ghiolla Íosa
Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig ar chlann mhór dhomhanda na nGael, sa bhaile agus ar fud na cruinne, ar ár lá náisiúnta ceiliúrtha féin.
Ta ríméad orm beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig a chur ar gach duine atá páirteach i gceiliúradh na bliana seo, is cuma cé acu in Éirinn nó thar sáile atá siad. Tugann ceiliúradh na Féile Pádraig deis ar leith dúinn ár naisc oidhreachta agus ceana a threisiú le clann dhomhanda na nGael, agus lenár gcairde ar fud an domhain. Is léiriú iontach é ar an lúcháir sin na beatha atá ag na Gaeil, agus is mó an chúis atá againn ceiliúradh a dhéanamh i mbliana ná mar a bhí le tamall de bhlianta. Cuireadh fáilte roimh an déabhlóidiú rialtais arís i dTuaisceart Éireann, agus tá tús á chur anois le ré nua ar oileán na hÉireann, a thugann geallúintí síochána, ratha agus comhpháirtíochta dúinn uile. Ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghabháil libh go léir as an tacaíocht agus an spreagadh a thug sibh dúinn le linn ár dturais fhada dheacair go dtí an pointe comhaontaithe seo. Níl aon cheist faoi ach go bhfuil an barr feabhais le teacht fós!
Ta súil agam go mbainfidh na hinimircigh nua iomadúla chun na hÉireann, a bheidh ag ceiliúradh inár gcomhluadar i mbliana, inspioráid ón imirceach sin ba mhó tionchar ar fad, Naomh Pádraig féin. Ta a ainm agus ainm na hÉireann ceangailte go dlúth lena chéile sa lá atá inniu ann, agus éiríonn a chlann níos flúirsí agus níos ilchineálaí gach bliain. Guím gach rath oraibh go léir ar an ócáid ceiliúrtha seo na Féile Pádraig 2008. Bainigí taitneamh as, cibé áit a bhfuil sibh! Go gcuire Naomh Pádraig a bheannacht de shíor ar oileán na hÉireann agus ar a mhuintir.
Máire Mhic Ghiolla Íosa Uachtarán na hÉireann

Darragh is off to the parade and is going to be on the Irish float! My friends here "The Kelly's" are a big part of the Irish club and taking him with them to the big celebration down town.
I am making brown bread and some soda bread and Martin is cooking a fab Irish stew and we are having friends over.
