    No, not a Ross O'Carroll-Kelly review of Leitrim folk but an Ireland-based German journalist, Antje Joels view of the Irish as published in a Swiss Journal.

    Enrichment through different cultures is Greek to the Irish. Even that doesn’t have to surprise anyone. Ireland is small, with a population of nearly 5m people. Vast parts of the population have a dental deformity. One owner of one of these dental deformities once told me that it was the result of incest. To prove that, he threw back his head, opened his mouth and showed me his rodent like narrow upper jaw. This man was a scientist, he must know. He also said, that young couples have been advised by the government over the last few years to have an DNA test done before marriage, in order to prevent a further spread of this dental deformity. Alone the successful spread of the Irish gene pool is worrying.

    and so on. Its hard to know how much of this article might be intended to be slightly tongue in cheek...actually forget that - she's German.
