Each year, St. Patrick’s Day gives us the opportunity to celebrate Ireland and all the wonderful things that have come from it. It is a place where, unlike Colorado, the grass is actually green and festive.
The Scribe staff share their favorite people and things that have come from the country, from family and actors to TV shows and good food.

The shirt my (Irish) grandpa gave me when I was 2 that says “Drink Till She’s Irish” with a lady holding beer on it. Also, shoutout to the Irish goodbye.
Joseph Impellitteri | Co-Editor-in-Chief
The movie “71.”
Ellie Myers | Associate Editor
I love me some “Derry Girls.” I also love sea shanties — not all of those come from Ireland, but many great ones do.
Tori Smith | Managing Editor
“DERRY GIRLS.” It’s my favorite TV show. Also, Nicola Coughlan specifically.

My favorite thing from Ireland is the Shamrock Shake.

Colm Meaney, who was Chief Miles O’Brien on “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.” He portrayed one of the greatest Star Trek characters ever and contributed so much to the franchise!

Apparently chocolate milk was invented by an Irish guy, so yeah, it’s gotta be that.

My favorite Irish person is Andrew Scott, though I am sure it’ll pass.
