(Personal aside - there are irish in my family, my dad is irish actually. Don't know too many of the family, only my grandmother and a couple of cousins really, mostly over there. The two cousins I know best are both priests, one a jesuit, and Lourdes is the place my grandmother was always asking me why I hadn't been yet even though I lived "so close". And my dad? Professor at various Catholic universities in the us.

That's as much about Ireland as I needed to know growing up, and unfortunately was happy to keep it that way.

I'm glad economic development and eu membership has made it a better place...)

Poor Ireland...so close to england, so far from god.

Don't worry.  It was clear from your missive that you had suffered greatly :-)
