I hope it survives. Period.The Irish were violent criminals. I guess the Westies will all become interior designers now.The Brits and early colonists hated the Irish; just sayin'.
I can't help but feel a little sorry for Ireland. After all, it does feel like it is doing the right thing. 4% of its population has seized control of more than half the country.
I hope Ireland can survive you feeling "a little sorry" for them.
