What is wrong with Ireland? They have become such a huge disappoint lately in their hard lurch to the far left. Now they lionize communism? So sad. What a waste.
That’s the way they were starting to go in the Easter Rising, under communist leaders such as James Connolly. Pity that the true history gets buried sometimes under all the propaganda.
I have visited Ireland many times and though the people are warm and welcoming many that I met were really far left in their political views. They adored Obama and Clinton, hated W for the most part. Haven’t been there since President Trump but I would imagine anyone you would ask would give you an earful against him. Also, there is quite a common sympathetic view of the Palestinians concerning Israel. My father (God rest his soul) out and out told an Irish priest friend he was anti-semitic. I don’t think anyone had ever dared to tell this priest how awful he sounded when speaking about Israel.
