Fieldwork Findings: Traditions in Ireland

Many traditions in Ireland have deteriorated with time like storytelling or in Irish Shan chai. Other traditions have become very popular among the people in Ireland, going to a pub is one of them, and another one is having dinner at family in the main table on Sunday because they tend to eat separated from the rest. About the food their most typical dish after potatoes chips is the cabbage and drinking guiness.
Some important events in the Ireland history was the civil war at 1920 and 1916 bloody Sunday. Many people died in these events and many others immigrate to America.
All their traditions remain but not as strong as when they start at first.  New traditions have taken they place and seems like there are going to be there for a long time. Talking Irish is not very popular for them because of the penalty laws make by the English people.
