Irish prosperity has definitely had it's downside.

Maybe.. but as you know, it was happening in state and religious institutions back when Ireland was poor.

Ireland Ping.

On Fields Avenue, you can see these men everywhere . . . on the street, where they walk hand-in-hand with local girls often under the age of 18; in the cafes, where they joke with each other about their latest exploits; and in the bars, where they stare at semi-naked girls before picking the one they want to bring back to their hotel rooms. They come primarily from Australia and the US, Britain and Germany. And increasingly, they come from Ireland.

I'm really surprised that men from culturally advanced and intellectually rife Europe would be participants in this.

No offense meant towards you, I.T.
