Ireland, which had been dominated and poor for centuries, while Great Britain is falling apart.

The Irish would be wise to keep immigration at a minimum.

The "luck" of the Irish is our birth-given angel. Everyone who is Irish gets one. At least that is what keeps me on the strait and narrow.

As a purveyor of the homeless magazine

They have their own magazine? Talk about a niche market.

How about this one: Ireland keeps the Muzzies out, continues its smart economic policies and just over 100 years from now, it's the Irish Army liberating England from Dhimmitude.

Could it happen? ;-)

"Given that we are supposedly so well off, they are not looking after the people," said Catherine Dunne, a worker with Credit Union, the community financial co-operative.

There are people everywhere, but especially Ireland, that are not happy unless they're miserable.

The soaring prices were the main issue for Nicola Byrne, 20, a student living at home. "Everything is so expensive. I work in a shop to make ends meet, but I still find it quite difficult to afford a social life," she said.

So tough!  My well educated wife came over to America nearly 20 years ago at just a few years older than you and got immigrant wages.  Her friend came over at the same time to clean people's houses.  To be 20 and a whinger requires dedication.

The rustic, laid-back charm so long associated with Ireland was in danger of being superseded by a "greed is good" mentality.

Get to Ireland while the Irish are still there!

Ireland seems to be going down the American route of consumerism. It has changed so much."

When I finally saw a TGIF restaurant open at the Blanchardstown Mall, I knew America had finally returned the favor of Irish culture coming to America!

My guess is that Ireland's economic success will do more to reunite the country than all the IRA's bombs ever did. It's a lot more palatable to join an economic dynamo than a third world country.
