Northern Ireland and the Irish abroad

Irish Forums Member Location: Carlow

We in Ireland believe that the Irish abroad are totally out of touch about Ireland. It seems to us living in Ireland, that most Irish abroad have some very strange ideas about Ireland. Most of us will say that it is the Irish Americans who are the most naive about Ireland, but it is not just them. I have experienced the Irish in England, and they are totally out of touch about Ireland. Looking over the Internet on chat rooms like this, it becomes very clear that most of the Irish abroad, have no idea what Ireland is really like.
There are so many chat rooms dedicated to Northern Ireland.
Why are the Irish abroad still going on and on about Northern Ireland? Why do they believe Northern Ireland deserves special attention? They must believe that terrible violence and murders only happen in Northern Ireland. Where do they get these ideas from.
News flash for the Irish abroad.
If anywhere in todays Ireland needs special envoys from America, it is here in the south.
For many years now, the south of Ireland has witnessed many more murders of innocent people, and many more gangland killings than Northern Ireland.
These ideas about Ireland are almost as stupid as the non-Irish, who think we are all mad for religion. Most Irish could not care less what religion you are, or if you have no religion what so ever.
