Yes vote on way to victory in Irish Fiscal Treaty referendum on Europe

NYCsheridan, thick American, no such thing as being forced to leave Ireland.

seanomelb, so called proud Irishman who ran off to Australia at the first opportunity, really a proud Aussie Brit.

They always do Seano.They always do leave the building.They want to give their 2 cents worth and then run away.

I suppose you have left the building audreybolton,but if you are still around I cannot add to sirpeter's fine assessment which you chose to ignore.BTW I'm an ex serviceman(Irish)myself not that you should use that fact to garner some sympathy for you plastic Irish attitude.I am a proud Dubliner and I have no issues with my "Irishness". I hope you arrive home safe from your overseas duties. slan

Seanomelb: I have never been "brow beaten" and I still need an explanation of what a "west brit" is? Have you an inferior complex about being Irish? I haven't. George: I am on peacekeeping duties abroad with the Irish Army and I have never played golf, I'm more interested in athletics and Gaelic football. Guarding relics is not in my remit and anyway it's been returned. You're getting more vindictive by the minute and obviously hate the Republic. I don't think we care. Goodbye and Good Night to you both.

NYCsheridan.There is a million plastic British people living on this island.Most have been living here for hundreds of years.They are anglophilic in matters of culture and politics.Taking a view of Irish history which highlights perceived positive aspects of British influence in Ireland, or criticizing Irish nationalist rebellions.The are embarrassed by or disdainful of aspects of Irish culture,such as the Irish language,Gaelic games or Irish traditional music.Opposition or indifference to a United Ireland and to Irish republicanism.I know many Protestants and I mean a lot if you get my meaning.All of the above is true.It doesn't apply to all of them but a lot.They have a tendency to drag down anything and everything Ireland has achieved and pump up anything negative in Ireland.When these "West Brits" are in real British company they are very sensitive because real Brits consider them Irish and if a true Brit makes an Irish joke which they love doing when in England.The west brits get very defensive because they suffer from Cultural cringe.You must be blind if you can't see the self-hate and derogatory remarks among some of the people here who live in Ireland.To Paddy for Tommy and to Tommy for Paddy.

Fosters is not a popular drink in Australia Fosters is an overseas brand get it straight.My drink of choice is Jameson(18yr.old).If you haven't worked out what a west Brit is you're a sad case.

Seanomelb, wth is a West Brit, put down the Foster's man and sober up.

Once again the idiot bythebay makes ridiculous xomments regarding those who were forced to leave ages ago in order to feed those who stayed bwhind (you know, their brothers, sisters, parents) and who sent back money in order to keep them alive. What a worthless, useless POS you are.

audreybolton you've made my point with your Adams/Sinn Fein quip and the return of violence only a brow beaten west Brit would make such a silly comment.

Someone in Melbourne, Australia calling people in Ireland West Brits is also laughable, Australia is part of the British Commonwealth, Queen Elizabeth II is their monarch.

Slurs against people in Ireland such as Protestant, West Brit only show the ignorance of those using them. Most of them emigrated long ago or their ancestors emigrated long ago either because they did something wrong and had to leave or they were so incompetent they couldn't survive in Ireland. The IRA Provo Adams and his Sinn Fein thugs will not succeed in Ireland just like they failed in Northern Ireland UK.

I think someone living in Northern Ireland UK which gets an allowance for its expenses from the Government at Westminister in England is baseless criticizing a free and independent republic. Especially when Northern Ireland UK and the rest of the United Kingdom is a member of the EU and has categorically said would not leave the EU when Germany suggested it should consider doing so.

Word from Ireland today is that yet another priceless artefact of Irish culture has been stolen, either by Eastern Europeans or by tinkers,. Where the hell were you AudreyBolton, you're paid to protect the Irish nation and its patrimony. You were probably playing golf at the time this atrocity was being perpetrated, with the other worthless jerks you hang out with. You're a useless waste of space.

Seanomelbourne; I was not speaking for myself on this post. We just so glad it's all over or we would have to vote again. What is a West Brit, someone who doesn't agree with you? Sounds like you left Ireland because you did something wrong. If you ARE in Melbourne, then you can't decide for us. Just as well, Adams and his gang would soon break cover if they took power in Ireland and we would be living at the point of a gun. One civil war is enough! So you don't like us,put up with it. You don't have to live with the consequences.
