Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
I have no clue. This is too tough!
I was living a couple of years in Ireland and probably I can give you some answers Susan:
1)San Patrick was born in south of Scotland and he was a Roman Empire citizen.
He was captured by irish pirates.
I guess irish do not like scottish,maybe is a problem of centuries o just a religion problem.
2)The biggest irish city is Dublin,with 1.600,000 residents but my answer for most viewed parade is New York.
3)He was captured by the irish being 16 then probably was a pagan,as many people in the Roman empire.
4)This answer is easy:34 millions.If you speak with a irish born guy and about his small country then he always explains you that most of them are in the USA.That story is linked with the Irish Grand Famine(19 centurie) and migration of millions to America.
5)I have no idea.Sorry,I am a human being.
St. Patrick, patron saint of Ireland, died this day in 461, according to legend, and now his feast day is celebrated widely in Ireland and the United States.
