The question "what do Irish people look like?" or the search phrase "pictures of Irish people" brings so many people to our site (for whatever reason) that we've decided to dedicate a page to helping our visitors find what they're looking for.

This is a cooking and recipe website, and portraiture isn't our strong suit, so we don't have any Irish portraits of our own to share. However, please have a look at these photo groups at the photosharing site Flickr:

• Irish Street Photography (pictures of people only)
• Belfast People
• South East Ireland
• Photography Ireland
• Irish Women
• Beautiful Ireland (sometimes contains people pictures)
• Finding Ireland (ditto)
• My Ireland (ditto)

And there are many more. Put the search terms "Ireland" and "people" in the search box on any main Flickr page and see what you get.

There is also a fascinating and possibly even accurate article at the Washington Post about The Look of the Irish. (No pictures there, however.)

Thanks for visiting! And don't forget to have a look at our Irish recipes while you're here...especially Peter's Mum's soda bread recipe, and our 2007, 2008 and 2009 St. Patrick's Day Recipe Festivals.
