From the late 1950's a colorful push for people to consider visiting Ireland.
When you think about it there's almost too much to take in, from great music and culture to the prehistoric constructions that still hold real mysteries.
A lot to see and do!
(Could they use an antique map dealer with a love for Irish music?)

I freaking love #Irish, #Scottish, and in general #Celtic #culture

I know I'm a freak not for loving cultures, for the ways I'm affiliated with them

A proud member of the bizarroverse xD #lol

And the Irish poetry is sooo freaking good and the nature is breathtaking #truth

C.S. Lewis, W.B. Yeats, Seamus Heaney, Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, Eavan Boland, Patrick Kavanagh, Paul Muldoon etc. XD

I also love harps and Guiness tastes amazing hahaha (1/2)

Today in Labor History July 13, 1863: America's bloodiest riot began when 50,000 mostly Irish working-class men protested the Civil War draft by burning buildings (including an orphan asylum), stores and draft offices in New York City. One of their grievances was that the wealthy could buy their way out of service. The $300 commutation fee would be over $7,000 in today’s dollars and the typical laborer only made a dollar or two per day. The unrest lasted several days and turned into race riots, with many participants blaming blacks for the war. This racist tendency was exacerbated by the participation of nativist gangs, including the Dead Rabbits (from the 5 Points neighborhood of New York), Schuylkill Rangers (from Philadelphia) and the Plug Uglies (from Baltimore). The official death toll was 120. However, some believe that up to 2,000 may have died in the riots.

The riots have been portrayed numerous time in fiction and film, including Martin Scorsese’s “Gangs of New York.” Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich cowrote a novel that also depicts the riots: “Grant Comes East: A Novel of the Civil War “ (2004). The various gangs have also been described in works of nonfiction, like in Herbert Asbury’s gang books: “Gangs of New York,” (1928) “The Barbary Coast: An Informal History of the San Francisco Underworld (1933); and “The French Quarter: An Informal History of the New Orleans Underworld”
(1936).

Today in Labor History July 10, 1921: Bloody Sunday: Seventeen people died and 200 houses were destroyed during rioting and gun battles in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The violence erupted the day before the beginning of a truce that was supposed to end the Irish War of Independence. As the truce approached, police launched a raid against republicans. However, the Irish Republican Army (IRA) ambushed them, killing an officer. In retaliation, Protestant loyalists attacked Catholic enclaves in west Belfast. As a result, Protestants and Catholics paramilitaries battled each other in the streets. There were also gun battles between Republicans and the police. And police also fired indiscriminately at Catholic civilians. Belfast saw almost 500 people killed from 1920–22 in political and sectarian violence related to the Irish War of Independence.

The Irish War of Independence has been portrayed in the play “The Shadow of a Gunman,” by Seán O'Casey, the 1929 novel, “The Last September,” by Elizabeth Bowen, the 1931 short story, “Guests of the Nation,” by Frank O'Connor and the more recent novels: “Troubles,” by J. G. Farrell (1970), “The Old Jest,” (1979) by Jennifer Johnston, and “The Soldier's Song,” (2010) by Alan Monaghan.
