Every good Irishman knows that the Irish are the Celts, and the Celts are the Irish. Well, the Celts were an exciting people. They were proud, defiant, and war-like. The Romans describe them as huge red-haired, red-bearded barbarians, with frightening blue eyes.









"Nothing ails us brother; joyous souls are we,
Sailing home together, on the morning sea",
"Cousins, friends, and kinsfolk, children of the land,
Here we come together, a merry, rousing band".
