Ireland is the most beautiful country I have ever been to and if I was anyone else I'd move there in a heartbeat. It always bums me out when I hear about bad things happening there.
I do think the protest did wake some people up but a lot of libs are making a bigger fuss over the cars and buses being burnt than the children who were stabbed which is honestly sickening.
I have a few friends there, and rent/housing is insane even out in the middle of nowhere. It's the classic Commonwealth country problem of an insane housing bubble propped up by infinite migrants.
