Are the Irish getting remembered?

[Waterways]

Not all Scousers are the salt of the earth, far far from it.
most are but there are plenty of nasty people here.

Ignoring a major part of Liverpool heritage ( The Irish ) is shamefull by this cities leaders.

The Irish is a minor part in fact, after others. The famine and city's role in it should be remembered, however an Irish festival? Nah. I know of no strong Irishness in our culture. I have never been the Irish Centre and the only lasting influence from Ireland we don't really need - the Orange and the Green, which is dying and has always been confined to working class areas anyway.

If we should celebrate a tenuous Irish connection, then we should also have one for the Welsh, Scandinavian, blacks and Orientals too.

In short, celebrate being Liverpudlians, the port for America, and a real melting pot that resisted strong external cultural influences, developing its own.
