Beannachtam na Femle Padraig!
(Happy St. Patrick's Day)

It's a day that Irish-Americans and Drunken-Americans alike celebrate the Patron Saint of Ireland and all things Irish. 34 million U.S. residents claim Irish ancestry, making it the second most frequently reported ancestry, behind only German. The Roaches only have to go back 3 generations to John Roach who was born in County Cork and immigrated to the U.S. as a young child with his parents.

"May you live all the days of your life." - Jonathan Swift

So raise a pint to the emerald isle! Sláinte! Éireann go Brách!
