5 English words that come from the Irish Language #Irishlanguage

Considering that English incorporates so many words from different languages from across the world, there are surprisingly very few words in English that come from Gaelic (Irish and Scots Gaelic, which were the same language into the modern era).

These are a few words that I am aware of. I would be interested to find out if there are more.
I am not sure where the word Hooligan comes from, but I always heard that it is derived from the Irish surname Houlihan. Irish people emigrating to England, America etc were largely poor and uneducated. They had a reputation for drinking excessively and fighting which is understandable considering the conditions that they were working and living in.
It still is a national stereotype but one that Irish people have a quiet affinity for - just view the good natured friendly atmosphere of St Patrick's day or the supporters of the Irish soccer team when we occasionally get to a World Cup or European Championship.
Boxing is our most successful Olympic sport - look at the amount of medals Ireland has won compared to all the other events. Fist fights used to be common when I was growing up at Gaelic football matches. These were tough men playing, but after the match, people would shake hands and be best of friends. Supporters would go to the pub together and there was never any trouble.
