“The first in that list is what most Irish still think of their own country..” (Theyre too small a country to survive!)
No, no we don’t.
Why make such silly, unfounded sweeping statements?
Of course, having only lived here (Ireland) for most of my life, I may still not have quite the insight that your undoubtedly sound source for this assertion has. If you would care to reveal it I’d be glad to take out a short notice in one of our national dailies to put the population straight. I can’t bear to think of my fellow countrymen continuing to live in ignorance of their own real opinions..
