You twat...the shamrock is like the Welsh leek, Scottish thistle and the English rose....a national emblem. Although the harp is its national symbol. Your thinking of four leaf clover, which is supposedly lucky and larger than shamrock. No one knows where the 'luck of the irish' comes from, although there are certain references being associated with the first World War. Incidently the shamrock will ONLY grow in Ireland
Was used allegedly by Saint Patrick to explain the holy trinity.... which is three in one i.e father son and holy ghost!!!!!

GOT IT???

probably something to do with the fact that the best pint ever comes from Ireland. You cant get much luckier than that.
Absolutely! Nothing tastes better than a pint of Guinness straight from the Guinness Brewery - only reason why I've been to Dublin twice!!

Luck of the Irish - maybe this

From http://hnn.us/articles/623.html

"Luck of the Irish" Refers to the Abundance of Good Fortune Long Enjoyed by the Irish

Really? What sort of luck is it that brings about 1,000 years of invasion, colonization, exploitation, starvation and mass emigration? In truth, this term has a happier, if not altogether positive, American origin. During the gold and silver rush years in the second half of the 19th century, a number of the most famous and successful miners were of Irish and Irish American birth. For example, James Fair, James Flood, William O'Brien and John Mackay were collectively known as the "Silver Kings" after they hit the famed Comstock Lode. Over time this association of the Irish with mining fortunes led to the expression "luck of the Irish." Of course, it carried with it a certain tone of derision, as if to say, only by sheer luck, as opposed to brains, could these fools succeed.
