Wow, two days of the same stale products we see year after year from Ireland. The only person I know who gets excited about these shows is Jane Treacy and the authenticity of that is questionable. This is how they propose to appeal to the younger generation?

They need to dump the Irish shows.

I am 75% Irish and I agree.

You can buy all that stuff direct from Ireland cheaper. I bought a sweater for $50 less than Q.

Agree......with comments about dumping that show and Jane is the only person who jumps up and down over it. Can't stand that tall giggle individual.

Stale.........................

I don't buy any of that stuff but it's sort of charming to see the Irish men and women selling their wares. I wonder what this year's mash-up of Waterford crystal and Connemara marble will be.

@CalminHeartI'm 100% Irish as is my hubby and I have to agree...the St Patrick shows are lame. Connemara Marble is the irish equivalint of Josie Maran's "rare and onlyfound in one place" Argon oil......overhyped.

I said this years before but will say it again.

I would love to see more kitchen-type items and novelty items included like the ones they have in the Irish gift catalogs. Something fun, along the lines of the fairy doors that they still sell or sheep cartoons on mugs, aprons, etc. and bring back that adorable pot o'gold cookie jar. Remember that big black round one with shamrocks all over it topped with a gold coin encrusted lid?

The lid still seals beautifully on mine.

They need some new vendors.

I used to occasionally take the day off to stay home to watch the Irish show, but now that I'm retired, I don't always make it a point to tune in since there is just more of the same.

Even Stephen Walsh's updated DVD of touring Ireland was a disappointment. I thought he'd include some of his trademark wit while explaining the Irish sights, but it was quite staid and barely an update to the first DVD.

Too bad they can't get some of the vendors from the Creative Irish Gifts catalog, or other Irish catalogs.

I enjoy the Irish shows, but do agree they need some new stuff and different stuff. Did anyone see the shamrocks valerie has? They light up like the valentine hearts. I think they are nice.

While I agree they need to cut back on the sweaters and bring in some more unique products. BUT I think its a day when viewers get to take a break from all the SAME and REPITITIOUS merchandise and bring in something that's a little different, and I enjoy the charming Irish vendors, I enjoy watching the shows and I'm not even Irish.....☘️ ☘️ ☘️ 🌈🎩

Im surprised by the amount of hate the Irish shows are getting. Its only on once a year. Even those who dont like it can endure one day.

I have to sit through gem shows and Gold Rush shows for goodness sake but I keep them on because of my love for the Q.

I don't have a drop of Irish blood in me that I know of, but I love the shows and do buy the sweaters, crystal and china.I will tolerate those loud mouth, self serving hosts and watch the shows when they are aired. Time for Irish soda bread and tea.

@banned again Thanks for posting the Irish info!

I always watch the Irish shows as they remind me of my Mom, who passed 10 years ago. She loved everything Irish and had an extensive collection of Belleek pottery and Irish jewelry.

In March of the mid 2000's (I forget which year) QVC hosted a "meet and greet" at Studio Park with the Irish vendors. I took my Mom to this event. All of the vendors we met were so nice. Steven Walsh, the lady who sells Solvar jewelry, and the lady who used to rep Inis were unbelievably kind and charming and spent a lot of time speaking with my Mom. She was thrilled! QVC also provided all who attended a super gift package that included a beautiful Irish wool scarf, a Dresden Shamrock pin, Inis, and many other items. It was a great day.

I'm not Irish but I enjoy the shows for the most part. I agree that they need some new merchandise, and it would be lovely to see some jewelry that is made in Ireland that does not scream "I'm IRISH!!!"

Don’t care whether they continue or not. The offerings, like so many other items on Q, have become too repetitive, thus uninteresting. I enjoy hearing the Irish guests talk. I miss the nice sets they use to have like the one of a group of storefronts and also the pub. Worked with a woman who always took the day off to watch the St Patrick’s Day shows on Q.

Thanks - I hope more home items and less sweaters. They show way too many sweaters.
