You keep saying the Irish don't like us any more

Where did this come from?
When did they particularly like us in the first place?
Does this mean that the IRA won't be raising funds in the US any more?

Color me confused...

Re: You keep saying the Irish don't like us any more

Ireland has benefitted enormously from the EU, and in only 25 or so years has gone from being traditionally poor to having a thriving economy. Thus the modern Irish are more in line with France and Germany than they are with the US. Bush hatred is virulent in Ireland, who mock him mercilessly (you know how they are :).

Although I don't have any information, I would not be surprised if the Irish were ticked at us for not backing their desire for union with Northwest Britain.
