The Shamrock leaf is the symbol of Ireland.It's used a lot in Ireland,especially on St.Patricks day when people wear the Shamrock on their coats to celebrate Ireland's national day.

It is the symbol for Ireland here in Canada but is it just a western invention or is it used in Ireland a lot?
Thx.
Halcon: Almost everyone's speech is going to be filled by cultural biases because we are around them all of the time and it is ingrained in our heads. I did clarify Canada, so when I say west, I am referring to Canada.
If I covered every single possibilty in my question, it would be ten pages long and I am only allowed so many characters.
If you don't know the answer, don't answer. And instead of answering, don't just focus on the words I use. That is done way too much on here.
And isn't it interesting you blast me for being ignorant but then you stereotype all Canadians to be as ignorant as the US based on one thing that one Canadian said.
Also, did you know that American refers to people in North, Central and South America. I guess you didn't.
So I guess we are both uneducated and bias. Who will be the bigger person though?
Thx.

its shamrock not clover its to do with the catholic religion the 3 leaves represent The father ,The Son, and The Holy Spirit, Legend states that St Patrick used it in his teachings so this is why it is associated with St. Patricks day

Bonnie, Ireland is in the "west" too you know. Europe is part of the "west". Lord I thought it was just Americans that had such a narrow view of the world. Australia is part of the west, New Zealand is part of the west........the west is not a geographical situation, it's a series of cultures and mindsets.
Halcon<edit> Bonnie my sweet, you obviously don't recognise when you're having fun poked at you - lighten up! I am teasing you, and yes of course I realise that Americans covers all of the Americas, I am using the common usage in my country - so lighten up again! Goodness me...what a serious person.....and anyway, as the others have said it;s the Shamrock not the clover leaf.
however, I apologise unreservedly if you took what was meant lightheartedly seriously.
