Sinn Fein is one of those supposed nationalist party that do not give a damn about the natives. Sinn Fein would have no problem with foreigners replacing the native Celtic population.

One can make a good argument Ireland is Europe’s most anti-Semitic country.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone want a Palistinian to move in next door to them? I know I don’t.

St. Patrick’s Day is a drinking holiday with no other redeemable quality.

Who or what is Sinn Fein?

Is Ireland even a country? 52nd state?

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Republic of Ireland for its contribution to the allied nations of the world during WWII. A country that, went the chips were down, joined in the defense of all freedom-loving people, and didn’t stand on the sideline, has earned the right to offer moral criticism of others.
