You know, I don't want to be the ugly fucking troll in your thread, but I won't lie either, because no one is entitled to lie.
The Republic of Ireland gets some much better press in my country, because of the old conflict between the Catholics and the Anglicans AND dumb Brexit out there.
That makes it all the more complicated, which is really nonsensical when you think about it.
It looks more friendly in your pictures than it probably is in daily life.
There's still an ugly wall to separate the Protestants from the Catholics, while this is 2023.
Do you realize?
Also, take a look at the Irish standard of living today. It is actually better than both the French and British.
I'm glad about it because the Irish are brave deserving people on average.
I like them when they're happy here in Paris.
