The Irish Oath Of Allegience

“I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the Republic of Ireland ; that I will endure rain, cronyism, the tin whistle, casual racism, asshat “entrepreneurs”, cankles, and the collective weight of 800 years of self-pity and morbid drinking; that I take this obligation freely without any (pause here) mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God (or ‘sky person’ of your choosing).”
