Maggie's Farm

It's more than that. Over the past century many of the native Irish left for greener pastures. Ireland fell into an economic slump for decades. Over the past 30 years or so Ireland has made a comeback mostly as the result of tax preferences and other benefits handed out like candy. But as the economy grew and all of the rich, elite and politicians benefited tremendously there weren't enough Irish citizens to fill all the jobs. Now that right there should have been great! They should have stopped right there with full employment and all of the citizens working. BUT... that wasn't as good for the politicians, the businessmen and the rich elite. No! it could be much better for them if they opened their borders and brought in unskilled workers, rif-raf, welfare cases, criminals, terrorists and god knows who else. NOT for the benefit of the Irish citizens who were enjoying jobs and a good economy for the first time in their life but for the pols, elite and owners. They HI-JACKED Ireland and they need(ed) the EU to keep the good times going.

So before the biggest risk to life and limb in Ireland is falling down while drunk or getting punched for supporting the wrong sports team in the wrong bar, now you can get raped, mugged, killed and knifed by Irelands new diversity (which is their strength). What they have done to Ireland is far worse than anything England managed to do in their long history.
