An original appearance always attracts and attracts attention. The more unusual a person looks, the more interest arises in his person. Often people themselves change their appearance in order to stand out from the crowd. But there are peoples who don’t need to do anything; they are bright and unusual in themselves.
For example, the Irish, whose appearance can definitely be called memorable and non-standard. Of course, we are not talking about all representatives of Ireland, but about typical bearers of Irish appearance.
Let's go back to the roots
The Irish people (or Celts) give the general impression of being soulful simpletons, merry fellows and lovers of noisy companies and the drinking that accompanies the festivities.
The Irish are interesting and famous throughout the world for their culture. That alone is worth it. It is celebrated with joy by residents of various countries. And Irish tunes are loved by many fans. Some of them are even seriously interested in Irish culture and call themselves Keltomaniacs.
The Irish, wholly consistent with their lifestyle and habits, are one of the most positive people in the world.
What did Irish men originally look like?
Initially, Celtic men looked slightly different than modern men. Traditionally, long hair no lower than the shoulders was considered a sign of a true Celt. They were worn straight, combed towards the back of the head, or made into special braids, Irish braids. Of course, as in any time, there were Irish people who did not adhere to traditions, their heads were decorated with short haircuts.
The same applied to the beard, some left it, while others shaved it off completely. The nobility were characterized by shaved cheeks and chins and the presence of a mustache above the upper lip.
Depending on where they lived, the Irish, whose appearance in general and hair color in particular were variable, were proud of their characteristics. Their hair color ranged from very light shades to fiery red. At the same time, those with light hair lightened their hair even more using natural means. And the red-haired Irish simply had to enjoy their differences.
The Irish were tall, their shoulders were broad, and they were built athletically. The Celts were very sensitive to their body and tried to constantly ennoble it.
Over time, as the Celts settled in different regions, the typical, clearly expressed features could be somewhat erased due to the creation of interethnic families.
Modern Irish men
Over time, the Irish, whose appearance was initially very pronounced, partly changed.
The usual blond and red hair is now rather a stereotype. Of course, they exist, but literally only a few. Most modern Celts have dark hair and light eyes and freckles are much more common. The faces are narrow in type, one might say sunken. The hero-athletes were replaced by young Irishmen of thin build and average height.
There are now different Irish people in the way they dress and present themselves. The appearance (a photo of an Irish man is presented in the article) can be imagined quite clearly, especially if you talk to them in person. More specifically, three types can be distinguished:
- Street guys who don't hold back much. They smoke and drink often. And they can easily pester a passerby with stupid questions or mockery.
- "Handsome guys." The Irish, in whom their roots clearly speak, take care of themselves, have a beautiful figure, stylish clothes and a well-groomed appearance.
- Ordinary guys. Such people can be found in any country - absolutely unremarkable outwardly individuals, without a special type or distinctive features.
What did Irish women originally look like?
If you delve into ancient times, the beautiful half of the Irish community was described as follows - long-haired women, and the hair was often much lower than the waist, an incredible, blinding red color. The hair is very thick, so much so that it was quite difficult for their owners to wear it and cope with such wealth. But at the same time, the women themselves looked very impressive - tall and more than large in build. Apart from the incredible length and beauty of their hair, Celtic women were very similar to men. And it was not just an appearance, but a real strength. Descriptions were found with the following content: “Women are able to compete with men in strength, and each can easily fight off even a group of aggressive rivals.” Writers defined Irish women as masculine, huge representatives of humanity, with terrible facial features and thunderous voices. But, despite such unflattering reviews, the Irish family continued.
Modern Irish women
Over the centuries, it's not just Irish men who have changed. The woman's appearance also changed noticeably.
There are two main types of Celtic women:
- Flat, wide face with a flat nose. Dark (often blue (less often green) eyes.
- An elongated face with an elongated nose, sunken cheeks. Blonde hair and light eyes of various shades.
When you look at a modern Irish woman, you don’t get the feeling that she is beautiful. Even though the girl takes care of herself and is fashionably dressed, it seems that “something is missing.” Charm, attractiveness, charisma - this is largely not about Irish women. It is important to note here that we are talking about standard, average girls who did not resort to the help of plastic surgeons and hardware assistance from cosmetologists.
Among Irish women there are practically no thin people. From their great, great, great, and so on grandmothers, modern women have inherited curvaceous figures.
And I want to pay special attention to my hair. Celtic contemporaries are absolutely not worried about the appearance of their heads, and artistic “bumps” are the most common option for everyday hairstyles.
National clothes of the Irish
The Irish, whose appearance is very peculiar, have traditionally worn national clothes, which are unusual and quite interesting.
The Irishman's coat consisted of a long skirt in red or orange shades (in some exceptions, skirts could be dark blue or green) and a long light shirt. It fit close to the waist, the sleeves reached to the wrists, and the neckline was most often made round with frills around it. A corsage was worn on the shirt and a fringed shawl was worn on the shoulders. And a large, most often checkered apron was required for the skirt. This is the kind of multi-layered, but certainly beautiful and original outfit that the Celts wore in the early centuries.
The men's skirt (kilt) was much shorter than the women's, predominantly yellow-brown. On top is an elongated vest and a light shirt. And a cloth beret was obligatory.
Currently, the clothing of the Irish only vaguely resembles the costumes of their ancestors. Only on family holidays or for any thematic performances do the Irish dress up in national clothes. And basically now they are dressed the same as the majority of the world's population. They also follow fashion and try to choose high-quality and stylish things.
The image of the Irishman in cinema and literature
The Celts (Irish) are often mentioned in cinema and literary works. Appearance, red hair, characteristic of the nationality, special - it is these nuances that are remembered by the viewer and reader and used by the authors. We can give the most striking examples of the use of the image of the Irishman in cinema and literature:
- John (Ron) from the Harry Potter epic. Probably the most famous of the Irish characters. A typical boy, as most of the world's population imagines an Irish child, has red hair, freckles, a good-natured and open look.
- The famous Leprechaun from the film of the same name.
- Red-bearded pirates. They are found quite often in both literary and cinematic works.
- And even Princess Fiona from “Shrek” is just a standard Irish woman in her human form.
The bright and unusual Irish (appearance, photos of which are described and presented in this material) are popular and interesting, and will definitely not leave indifferent a person who communicates with a Celt for the first time. And even without personal communication, Irish men and women can interest you, just look at their photographs or an interesting film with Irish images.
An Irish girl or woman has no right to have an abortion, even if she is the victim of rape or incest. On May 25, Ireland will express its opinion on the legalization of abortion. If the majority votes in favor, then the country may soon have corresponding liberal laws. Those who advocate the legalization of abortion often hear that they are “murderers” and “infanticides”
Dublin/Drogheda - Abortion legal campaigner in Dublin city center Robin Page is upset, and for good reason.
“Two men just came up to me and shouted that I was going to hell,” Page said.
Trinity College student Paige experienced many humiliations. One man called her a murderer and hit her.
“Another abortion rights supporter was attacked by a whole group of ten-year-old boys shouting ‘murderer!’”
Currently, the country's constitution gives the woman and the embryo the same rights. In practice, this means that in Ireland a woman cannot have an abortion, even if she has been raped or the victim of incest. Abortion carries a 14-year prison sentence.
Pregnancy can only be terminated if the woman's life is at risk. However, in practice, even this is not a guarantee.
The referendum will ask whether to repeal the controversial paragraph of the constitution.
If the pro-abolition camp wins, the Irish government will submit a draft of new, more liberal legislation to Parliament.
Prime Minister Leo Varadkar, as well as many opposition politicians, are in favor of repealing the current law.
Opponents of repeal are working to ensure Ireland's abortion laws remain the strictest in Europe.
"I don't think it's right to kill babies," says Tom Boland from Dublin. It’s easy to guess about Boland’s views: on his chest there are badges with the word “no”.
What to do if a woman is raped? Doesn't she have the right to an abortion?
“No,” is Boland’s unshakable position. “The rapist is the devil, but the child is not guilty of this, he is sinless.” A Christian cannot, under any circumstances, approve of the termination of a pregnancy.”
The position of the Catholic Church in Ireland was very strong until the beginning of this century. Nowadays society has become more secular, especially the younger generation.
However, it is not always possible to guess who supports changing the law and who does not.
“Young people can be passionately anti-abortion. And sometimes even older people speak out in favor of changing the law,” says Liz Riley, who campaigns on the streets of Dublin for a change to the constitutional paragraph.
The issue of abortion is not even a confrontation between “city and countryside.”

Open Democracy 10/26/2016Russia wants to ban abortion
Newsweek Polska 10/05/2016 The chairman of the Trinity College student society, Kevin Keane, has traveled around the country campaigning for changes in legislation. He noticed that there were no conservatives at all in rural areas.“The villages understand that in Ireland even a cow has more rights than a woman,” he says.
If a cow begins to miscarry, she must be provided with a safe termination of pregnancy. If a woman finds herself in the same situation, doctors, out of fear of being punished, will try to save the embryo until the last minute.
This is what happened in the fall of 2012: Indian-born dentist Savita Halappanavar died in Ireland due to a miscarriage, because doctors fought only for the life of the embryo.
Halappanavar's parents, who live in India, are now campaigning to change the law.
Keene, too, has experienced the hatred of anti-abortionists.
“I’m a big man, so you can’t yell at me on the street as easily as they yell at women participating in the campaign. But everyone knows my phone number, so I receive threatening calls.”
Keane hopes that on May 25, Ireland will finally stand on a par with the civilized countries of the West. There, women decide for themselves what to do with their own bodies.
“It’s time for us to start trusting women. No one has abortions for their own pleasure.”
The Irish government promises to amend the law to give the right to abortion up to 12 weeks of pregnancy. After this period, termination of pregnancy will also be possible if there is a threat to the woman’s health or life.
MPs who oppose abortion rights have already said they will do everything possible to prevent a new abortion law from passing parliament. However, a referendum must take place first.
According to public opinion polls, the camp in favor of changing the law is still in the lead, but the gap is small. At the end of spring it decreased even more.
“People who were previously unsure of their position are now opposed to changing the law,” said Dublin residents Louise Caffrey and Paula Mayock.
Caffrey, who is on maternity leave, is handing out flyers that say "yes." She has a four-month-old baby in her arms. Mayock hands out flyers on his lunch break.
“Several times I was called a murderer. And one day, a stern-looking elderly woman came up and thanked us for campaigning for abortion rights,” says Mayock.
Many men want to avoid participating in the referendum and say the issue does not concern them. This is supposedly a woman's business. They are trying to convince them: think about your sister, daughter, wife, girlfriend.
The most zealous representatives of the opposing camp are posting large photographs of mutilated embryos throughout the city.
“When they showed up outside the maternity hospital, it was too much,” says Dublin native Maria Fleming. She founded the group Angels4Yes, which goes around the city dressed as angels.
“When someone reports a terrible photo, we go to that place to cover it with our angel wings.”
A group of about 40 women walk around the city with wings on their backs. There is always a large man nearby in case someone suddenly decides to attack. Now the bloodiest photographs from the central streets of the city have disappeared. They were moved to highways and city exits.
The main street of the small town of Drogheda, north of Dublin, is covered in posters with the words "yes" and "no". On the column next to the 13th-century monument is a sticker with a telephone number where you can get advice in the form of SMS messages on issues related to abortion.
Students Emma Bailey and Jamie Rijnders support legalizing abortion. However, they are not confident that reform supporters will win the referendum.
“I'm afraid a lot of people who oppose the amendments are just keeping quiet,” Bailey says.
Barry Leahy, however, is not going to remain silent. The badge on his chest tells everyone that he opposes changing the law.
"I'm a Christian. Some women start glaring at me when they notice my badge.”
Even victims of violence do not have the right to abortion
The Irish Constitution equalizes the rights of the fetus and the woman.
On May 25, a referendum in Ireland will vote on repealing the relevant paragraph. If the reformists win, the government will introduce new liberal legislation covering abortion issues.
Now the law prohibits abortion even in cases of rape, incest, or serious violations in the formation of the embryo.
According to public opinion polls, the pro-reform camp is still leading.
Every year, three to four thousand Irish women travel to the UK to have an abortion. Usually Irish women fly to Liverpool.

Emigrants. Irish. National characteristics January 8th, 2011
There are only two types of people in the world:
the first are Irish, the second are those who would like to be Irish
(Timothy Boyle, Irish-American)
Appearance
The stereotype of an Irishman's appearance is red hair, freckles and green eyes.Statistics confirm this stereotype - 10% of Irish people have red hair (compared to the general human population of 2%). This is exactly what the folklore character looks like - a leprechaun,
Famous Irish actress Maureen O'Hara - star of post-war westerns 
And one of the top American TV presenters Conan O'Brien 
National character
All Irish are descended from kings(Proverb)
... among the Irish, feelings and passions certainly take precedence over reason. The sensitive, easily excitable nature of the Irish does not allow the development of prudence and interferes with uniform, persistent activity.
(F. Engels)
The Irishman demonstrates his typical traits in the pub - when meeting people, he is friendly and talkative, then he gets drunk and starts fighting or singing sad songs and crying about the fate of Ireland.
Friendliness
Hospitality is one of the most important virtues among the Irish. It has no equal in Europe and has been glorified since Celtic times, when anyone who did not provide the traveler with accommodation, food and drink was condemned by the community.
The friendliness of the Irish is legendary. “Welcome,” the owner, a complete stranger to you, greets you on the threshold of the poorest house, inviting you to a cup of tea or dinner, accompanied by a story about his cousin’s two-week journey across America. And listening to a story told by an Irishman is always worth it if you have time, because they are natural storytellers.
"Punctuality"
And if we’re talking about time, how can we not remember the so-called “Irish half hour” - those 30 or more minutes by which they are usually late. As Oscar Wilde said Punctuality is the thief of time.
The traits that, alas, are primarily associated with the Irish are cockiness and love of alcohol.
How does a newspaper chronicle about an Irish party begin? "Among the victims were..."
In American "immigrant" folklore there are many combinations beginning with the adjective "Irish":
Irish confetti- flying fragments of stones and bricks thrown in a fight,
Irish kiss- a bruise under a woman’s eye, etc.
Fighting as the main method of resolving disagreements is a consequence of the Irish “southern” temperament, which is not typical for northern peoples
Love for the green serpent
Irish toast
For the Frenchman who loves his wine
For the German who loves his beer,
For the Englishman who loves his "half and half" *
- because it brings them fun.
For the Scot who loves his whiskey
- because it makes his head spin.
And for the poor Irishman who simply has no choice
- that's why he drinks everything.
*
half and half - a mixture of two drinks
And what drinks are originally Irish?
Of course, beer (from Guinness, which holds Guinness Records) and Irish whiskey.
Classes
Climbing the social ladder and leaving hard and low-paid jobs to the “new” immigrants, the Irish explored new areas.Policemen and firefighters
Typical Irish male occupations were working in the police and fire departments. At the beginning of the 20th century, five out of six New York police officers were of Irish descent.
The police car was called paddy wagon(wagon - van, paddy - an offensive nickname for the Irish (diminutive of the typical Irish name Patrick)). The reason is twofold. Most of the police were Irish, but most often they also transported Irish in such cars (in New York, 55 percent of all those arrested were people of Irish descent).
Politicians
The Irish have always been politically active, whether it concerned the labor movement or participation in “high” politics.
The most visible Irish influence was in Tammany Hall, the Democratic Party political machine in New York that controlled New York politics from 1790 to 1960 and helped immigrants, mostly Irish, enter political life.
It remains to give a list of prominent American politicians of Irish origin of different political shades - Charles Lynch (“lynching”), Senator McCarthy (“McCarthyism”), the Kennedy clan, Ronald Reagan and even Barack Obama (on his mother’s side).
Culture and customs
LiteratureIf the English conquered Ireland, then the Irish conquered the English language.
The area in which the Irish made the most important cultural contribution is, of course, literature. It’s enough just to give a small list and imagine what literature would look like without these names:
George Bernard Shaw, William Butler Yeats, Oscar Wilde, Samuel Beckett, James Joyce
St. Patrick's Day Parade
- Why is St. Patrick's Day celebrated until April 15*?
“So we can wave the green ones before the government takes them away.”
*April 15 is the last day for submitting an income tax return
The main impression of St. Patrick's Day is the general "greening". True, in New York they have not yet reached the point of painting the Hudson green, as they do in Chicago
