Searching the Internet for "Irish twins", I came across this one usage at



http://haven.ios.com/~maryd/page/marydfam.html



quote



My family...



I have two older brothers and one sister. My siblings are all married and have

started families of their own.



My sister Chris was born 13 days before my first birthday. We are Irish twins.

(We actually are Irish - on both sides.) I have no memories at all from before

she was born, and we shared a room until junior high. That's not quite twins,

but you can't get much closer.
