	Eamonn Fitzgerald's Rainy Day: Route Irish
		Well, let's consider this example: In early 1851 a group of Irish immigrants in New York City formed a militia which later that year was incorporated in the New York State Militia and designated the Sixty-Ninth Regiment.
		When the First World War came, the Irish component of the regiment was still dominant and for bravery displayed in Lorraine, Chamapgne-Marne and Meuse-Argonne, the Medal of Honor was awarded to regiment members with names such as William Donovan and Richard O'Neil.
		And it was along Route Irish a week ago that a car carrying the Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena was traveling.

	Republic of Ireland-United Kingdom border - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Initially created as a Dominion, the Irish Free State was largely independent of the United Kingdom from its creation, with this status being formalised by the adoption of the Statute of Westminster in 1931 and the declaration of the Republic of Ireland in 1949.
		Irish place-name signage is bilingual (Irish and English), whereas UK place-name signage is (usually) English only with subtle differences in colouring and fonts.
		The road numbering systems are different: Northern Irish roads use A and B route prefixes, while the South's route prefixes are N and R (formerly T and L); for example, the road between Sligo and Enniskillen is known as the A4 in Northern Ireland but becomes the N16 on crossing into the Republic.

	'Route Irish' Blog - Indymedia Ireland
		The Baghdad-to-airport highway, known as Route Irish, is the deadliest arterial road in Iraq, with insurgents seeking to attack military, officials or corporate managers and their security escorts as they arrive or try to leave the country.
		"Route Irish is commonly referred to as `the deadliest road in Iraq' by journalists, soldiers and commanders," according to a report that cleared soldiers from the 1-69 for firing on a car speeding toward an American convoy on Airport Road that resulted in the death of an Italian security agent in March.
		Route Irish is the military's nickname for the five-mile stretch of highway running from Baghdad International Airport to the Iraqi capital's heavily fortified International Zone.

	Today in Iraq
		Route Irish is an East-West road along south Baghdad.
		There is no corresponding alternative route from downtown Baghdad (and the International Zone) to BIAP, which gives the route a heavy traffic flow and causes Coalition convoy movement to become more predictable.
		These conditions make Route Irish a lucrative target area for insurgents to employ improvised explosive devices (IEDs) of varying types and to achieve effects in terms of casualties.
