Of course Paul Mescal’s Irish. More to the point, he’s from Kildare – and don’t you forget it

Photograph: Tom Jamieson/New York TimesThere were a wild few months back in 2005 when the singer Damien Rice was reported to be romancing the movie star Renee Zellweger. Irish people go slightly berserk when one of our own does something glamorous.

Legend has it that the pair were spotted on a date at the Tesco in Celbridge, the Kildare town from which Rice hails. It’s celebrity lore that I, as a person from Kildare, cling on to to this day not only because it’s delightful but also because, as a county, Kildare is a bit flat. As flat as the Curragh plains that host the county’s most noteworthy export: racehorses.

As a native I feel qualified to call Kildare a bit, well, blah. Yes, there are the horses and, yes, I am proud to be from the same village as Ted, Ruby and Katie Walsh and, yes, I did once see the Rolling Stone Ron Wood – one of the county’s most famous blow-ins – in the supermarket. But when it comes to notable characteristics, Kildare’s standout trait is that it’s in the shadow of Dublin depending on what time of day it is. Kildare is beautiful and lush and full owhen interesting history, but we don’t have an iconic coastline or quirky local dish. Our county colour is literally white.
