Synopsis

Consider this: there are almost 10 times as many Irish-Americans in the U.S. as there are Irish in Ireland today! Ask any one of these Irish-Americans and they can tell you which county their people came from. But can they tell you the names of 10 great Irish Peace Prize Winners? Or the 10 most popular visitor attractions in Ireland? How about 10 universally-recognized words invited in Ireland?

The newest addition to the Top 10 Of Everything series focuses on the facts, foibles and fables of the Emerald Isles, compiled in over 250 fascinating lists. From 10 great Irish catch phrases to the unlikely origins of 10 famous Irish songs...10 Irish sporting controversies to 10 great Irishmen who many have never existed, the Top 10 Of Irelandprovides you with the ammo you need to slay 'em at the next St. Patrick's Day party, pub crawl...or visit to Boston!
