</I>A number of Irish migrated here as a result of the infamous Potato
Famine. Or so I've been told, anyway. My own family has some Irish
roots, and that's why they came here. Also there's some British, Scot,
and Dutch heritage in my genes.
And apparently, while you Aussies got the Irish convicts, we got the
cops. The Irish beat cop is a cliche in many US cities, especially New York.
