Irish Trivia
The phrase "Emerald Isle" first appeared in print in the poem "Erin" written by radial patriot Dr. William Drennan in 1795.
“When Erin first rose from the dark-swelling flood, God blessed the green island, he saw it was good. The Emerald of Europe, it sparkled and shone In the ring of this world, the most precious stone.”
