<FONT color=#cc0000>Hi everyone!</FONT>

<FONT color=#cc0000>I was in Dublin a while back with my friend and two American girls. One of the Americans girls made the remark -admittedly it was a passing observation and bore no seriousness or weight- that Dublin was just like New York city with an Irish accent. Was this however an accurate observation of Ireland at large? In a country where English has almost unanimous preference over Galic and where American programmes are probably given even more broadcasting slots than on U.K. channels is this an inaccurate synopsis? Or am I exaggerating. I also want to add that I am not saying American culture is not a legitimate one. God bless, </FONT>
