There is no cool Ireland. The truth is that both the north and south have these “close the borders” far-right cretins. The north (read: DUP) wouldn’t legalise abortion or marriage equality until the British government passed it directly. The south has a puppet economy controlled by silicon valley with a tax code written specifically to avoid collecting corporate taxes. Even Republicans in the north say they want an Irish republic… but not the one that’s there already.
