Irish Kilt?

Also, unlike many of the other countries you mention, the kilt actually does have place in Irish history, although a somewhat smaller one than many people assume.

Well, that depends on what you consider small or large. Trying to stay within the boundaries here, nationalist kilt wearers played a significant role in events of modern Irish history. I learned this at a young age.

I don't believe Matt was talking about the role of the kilt wearers themselves, but rather the adoption of the kilt (and elements of Highland attire) by said Irish nationalists, or for that matter, the pipers of the Irish regiments in the First & Second World Wars.
