	Irish History
		The Irish Normans eagerly adopted the Irish culture, and in a saying of the time, were "more Irish than the Irish themselves." The Normans who invaded England were not so eager to assimilate with the Irish.

		While many young Irish still leave the nation to find work in America, more are returning to the nation to keep it flourishing.
