What a load of fucking shit, considering Ireland size and population we've overachieved in literally everything be it in military, science, sports, literature etc.. what have counties like Finland, Belarus, Latvia, Slovenia, Moldova and so on ever done...

This thread is retarded and grounded in /pol/ tier ignorance.

The guy who literally invented Chrmistry, Robert Boyle, was an Irishman. George Boole was an Irishman, and if you don't know who that is, you don't have any business talking authoritatively about the history of science.

The culture front is even more ridiculously out of whack with OP's assertion: James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, Samuel Beckett, Bram Stoker, George Bernard Shaw, C.S. Lewis, and Jonathan Swift were all Irish.

It literally only took a google search to quickly find these names.

They invented top-tier music that makes you happy. They also invented cute red haired people.
Sadly they also invented american larping as irish

>To paraphrase Sir Arthur Wellesley just because a man is born in a stable doesn't mean he is a horse.
If you knew anything about Irish history you'd know that Wellington never actually said that. It was an argument used against his Irishness by Daniel O'Connell, someone who didn't like him very much. Wellington himself was by all counts reasonably happy to be called Irish and was particularly proud of his mother's descent from Gaelic royalty.

Maybe because literally everyone with two brain cells to rub together has been steadily leaving the country for the past 200 years? Brain Drain, dysgenics.
Just something to consider...
A lot of the greatest American contributors have Irish ancestry..

If you want to shit on the Irish your shitting on white people, because Irish is the most common ancestry of whites in America and other Anglosphere countries for that matter.
And Irish integrated perfectly in all of those societies, despite being treated like animals. It shows their essential nature is that of good white people.

I always loved how this quote was first used on the Irish before anything else. Poor lads. They really did get the bad end of the stick in history.

It wasn't used against the Irish, it was used BY the Irish because they didn't like that a Protestant British army officer was calling himself Irish.

Why didn't they invent fishing?

They might be angry drunks but to be fair they've contributed quite a lot. There are some pretty famous Irish writers/playwrights/poets and although it's not addressed in OP's question, the Irish contributed a disproportionate amount of troops to the British Army relative to their size (particularly during the Napoleonic Wars and WW1).

>Wellington himself was by all counts reasonably happy to be called Irish and was particularly proud of his mother's descent from Gaelic royalty.
I would also like a source on that because Wellesley's Irish ancestry seems to come up quite a bit on this board but I can't seem to find any information on what the man thought himself.

No. Scots-Irish are throughout the South, Germans are primarily Midwest and in the Northern Rockies.

>>2889456
Fugging James Joyce, like the most innovative writer of all time

Also with regards to the whole Anglo-Irish meme, the term just relates to a privileged social class that had nothing to do with those of planter descent (there was a large number of those of planter descent that belonged to the class of course, just as there was a large number of pure Irish). Also it's not as if those of planter descent were marrying irish niggers (which exist, just as do chavs and mongs of every nation) and the planter blood was the one deciding factor in their success, they were marrying into the already established Irish nobility and upper classes who were almost all Keltic Nordid

>>2900332
Mallet was the one to coin the term 'seismology' and was one of the founders of the science itself. His wikipedia states that

'On 9 February 1846 he presented to the Royal Irish Academy his paper, "On the Dynamics of Earthquakes",[2] which is considered to be one of the foundations of modern seismology. He is also credited with coining the word "seismology" and other related words e.g. the isoseismal map, which he used in his research. He also coined the term epicentre.'

>>2899656
>the Irish contributed a disproportionate amount of troops to the British Army relative to their size (particularly during the Napoleonic Wars and WW1).
Until fairly recently the Irish were considered basically a soldier race. Some general once said they'll win for any cause but their own, but I can't find the quote./

I never said the Croatian invented it I said he made a major and a more modern contribution to it around 1910s I forgot his name but just look up Croatian seismologist pioneer or something
