Behind the Scenes[edit]
- In Fallout, Patrick the Celt is descended from Americanized Celts and keeps his heritage alive by collecting clothing, food, stories, songs, and knowledge of Celtic history. He knows the song "Na Gheala Mbeadh."[4]

- In Fallout 4, the Four Leaf Clover perk icon and the Shamrock Taphouse logo contain the national flag of Ireland.
- Old Longfellow sings traditional Irish songs while idle.[6][7][8]
- Like the one in Fallout 3, the Luck Bobblehead in Fallout 4 has a four-leaf clover and an Irish buckle hat, a reference to the saying, "luck of the Irish."
