Nope, I'm just of Irish descent,
I can see how it might be construed as an insult, but if it makes you feel better, the Irish are good at other things like punching each other and weeping like girly-men.
Er...that probably sounded nicer in my head than it does out loud.
Seriously, though, I have just now formulated a theory wherein wood was a less-abundant resource in Scotland and Ireland than in eastern Europe, so naturally the Germans would be better at constructing completely wooden edifices and the Scots-Irish would be better at stone, clay, sod (a biggie in the Midwest of the time) and so forth.

That's a good theory. The Amish, who are German people, are notoriously good at barn-building. Irish were bog people. I have both in my family tree.
