I'D LOVE TO TAKE YOU TO IRELAND

When an Irishman wants to honour his friend, there is no greater prize in his gift bag than the simple desire to have his friend visit his home. An American has a huge selection from which to chose, An Irishman,  not so. When Paddy tells Sheila that there is no greater treat on offer than a visit to his homeland he will have in  mind, not some spectacular scenery or monument to human ingenuity, but something as eminently forgettable as a a countryside cross roads or his parents' grave.On closer study however it inevitably transpires that while the American seeks to impress, the returned Paddy wants only to share the richest treasures of his heart.
