It was more industrious before they switched to the euro I think, I can't quite remember when the 'Celtic Tiger' started shrinking
Started after they joined the EU though
I know that

The Celtic Tiger did, not the shrinking
When you say "Tiocfaidh ar la" you carry the bloodshed behind those words
It's the same with Unionists who shout "No Surrender"
the Republic of Ireland also still has the major problem of the Catholic Church having too much power
That is a lie
>condescending on someone for their satire
The Catholic Church has no political power in Ireland
^
mmm
political power, no
If they did, Gay Marriage would not be legal
but that's not everything
What power do they have
for what's taught in schools, the Catholic Church has a lot of power
Tell me
for example, there's a priest for each school that has veto power over what can and can't be taught
In Catholic schools? Then you can make the argument the catholic church has too much power around the world
no
in public schools
state school*
Wrong
no, you're wrong
this was told to me by an Irish teacher from the Republic
you live in Northern Ireland, not the Republic
I go between the border every month for a period of time
I know what schools are like
I know many people from Irish schools
There are state catholic schools, sure
But you are saying all public state schools
Yeah, and they don't necessarily know all of the mechanics of how things are decided
I'm several generations removed, Mac Threinfir. So, I know almost nothing about the homeland. I know the IRA and DUP have killed civvies.
Yes, It always angers me when someone from outside the country comments on "how things are"
Unionists and republicans who support that nonsense have blood on their hands.
It angers me when someone from a country disregards anyone saying anything about their country because "You don't know anything"
if that's what you're going to do to a discussion, don't take part
Its not exactly that
He's right to correct people
