Ireland is now by some accounts one amongst the top 15 states of the world for wealth. That by no means signifies we sell our potatoes or children for higher prices these last years, or have discovered a wealth of new national resources. It simply means that since joining the EU, most of our approximate 41 billion a year state budget, enviously high GDP and GNP is based on handling financial services related to the € Euro, $ dollar and Sterling inter-exchange. The wealth we tinker with in the Dublin financial district is based on the continued exploitation of mostly 3rd world resources.
We are the money launderers of the XXI century.
Yeah verily we are the Magdalenes.
These last 7 days, the USA decided to build a wall to stop Mexican migrants crossing its borders.
This last month after the average weekly detention figures of Africans attempting to enter the EU by raft to the Canary island archipelago topped 1000, and the cheeky African nations who are exporting all this unwanted slave labour demanded basic investment in infrastructure as condition for repatriation - they decided to blockade the Northern Atlantic Ocean with the Spanish navy. = The 5th best equiped / expensive marine force in the world has been deployed to stop unemployed people on rafts reaching the beach.
We have perhaps 10 years till we live in a West "behind walls". By then Ryanair will fly to global destinations and the cabin hospitality staff will ask us as we enter African, South American or Asia airspace to don a sympathetic expression & fasten our seatbelts...
The desperate, the huddled masses, the dispossessed, the poor of this earth today really have very little in common with the Irish men & women who were rejected in England in the 1960's. Sorry but they don't. And the desperate, huddled masses, dispossessed, poor of this earth don't have time to practise sports and represent their people at international fixtures.
They are ignored.
When Amnesty International today slammed the "richest financial service states" of the Capitalist west - it didn't even make the news.

get it into your heads.
Not a single Irish migrant to the USA has it as bad as a single African, South or Central American, or Asian migrant.
