[Music] top of the morning to you ireland james prime here and i am 12 irish so you know what that means anyway as a 12 percent irishman i feel like it's my responsibility to go around and spread some general knowledge on a beautiful country that my ancestors once called home on a more serious note this video isn't meant to make anyone look dumb or anything it's just to go around and spread some general knowledge on a country that people may not know much about so let's go find some americans and ask them what they know and what they think about the republic of ireland [Music] [Music] what's
