Questionnable

1. Being slaves .

2. Soda water - definitely not!

http://blog.findmypast.ie/2012/02/29/inventors-series-robert-perceval/

robert perceval was apparently the first physician to use carbonated water for medicinal purposes .

we can see this sites makes yet another mistake and credit thomas henry with its creation whereas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Henry_(apothecary) shows he was the first to manufacture it commercially.
3. Armored tank - seems the brits

4. Aircraft ejection seat - Romanian - you developed the first test not the first seat. Its weird I saw another site making this mistake.

5. Rubber soles - sorry the brits - and guy AC claim was then living in the usa.

6. Submarine - sub listed was first commisioned one by the royal british army and submarine was created 200 years before that. first modern submarine design -yes


This shows where Anthony Colby went wrong

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Irish_inventions_and_discoveries

Guinness developed a type of stout

First ejection test was developed by a Irish man

etc etc


Going further Go Ireland .com claims that Guiness is the top selling beverage of all times yet in 2013 the top 10 was

Top ten best-selling beers by volume in 2013:
1.Snow
2.Tsingtao
3.Bud Light
4.Budweiser
5.Skol
6.Yanjing
7.Heineken
8.Harbin
9.Brahma
10.Coors Light



IN FACT lets educate Go Ireland .com as you see Cr Snow who went to the top due to SAB modernizing its production was also the top brands in 2010 2009 and 2008 and accortding to this article

2011 article
All wrong. For the past three years, the world's top-selling beer is a pale, Budweiser-like brew that barely anyone in the West has ever heard of, let alone tasted. It is Snow Beer.
The Chinese drank 16.5bn pints of Snow last year, making it easily China's favourite and roughly twice as popular as Bud Light, the global beer from which it snatched the number one spot back in 2008.

But perhaps it just proves that the Irish cant count because as far as I know 365 * 10 million pints or 3 million pints did not even land you in top `10 and is so much less than the 16 billion the chinese consumed.

Furthermore that article contains emberarssing lies

1. There is no Robert percival of Ireland discussed in wikipedia. Its clear that that fact is a complete lie. Perhaps he invented the first soda bottle or cap but definitely not soda water.

Guiness has not nearly sales of 10 million a day. Most sites put their St Pat sales at 13 million and their normal sales at 5.5 million a year with 1.8 billion pints sold a year. Now compare this to Snow with sales of 16 billion from say the SAB takeover and transformation say in 2000 Then they would have sales of 16 billion for 15 years. Quick calculation 16 * 15 = 240 billion or in Guinness productions terms 133 years gained on you in 15 years and they and budweiser has been around for a long time. So how confident are we now about the most sold alcohol beverage of all times. In fact I am pretty certain budweiser would beat them hands down also.
