Ireland certainly is changing and once the eu exit goes through properly Dublin will
Be swamped roughly an 8 mill population and 4.2 mill live in Dublin a lot of firms there and a lovely city but it’s getfing busier and busier

What? 4.77m people in the Republic of Ireland, the population of the Dublin metropolitan area is 1.35 million, though greater Dublin is 1.9m. You are expecting our population will double?

Equally, population hasn't even got to the level it was at before the Great Hunger.

County Leitrim is bigger than Greater London had over 150k before and now has 30k.

At the risk of appearing something of a Fintan O'Toole obsessive, I do feel his latest piece for The Guardian is pretty good: https://theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/29/brexit-ireland-referendum-experiment-trusting-people.

I would’ve of voted yes for sure. But I’ll spare those who would of voted no the pretentious little needless snidey comments that some have made, of which you see on many political threads as per usual.

Excellent and thought provoking. Thanks for posting. Would also be relevant to the Trumpy Trump thread and the Brexit thread, perhaps.
