Default Questions for Irish members
Few thoughts I had from the John McEnroe thread.

What do you make of Irish Americans. They are not "Irish" in the true sense. But did they not help Ireland in recent history, both materially (sending money for food etc) and politically?

What do you think about Sinn Fein as a nationalist party. From my POV, the BNP is inadequate as a voice for England, British nationalism is an oxymoron. So I wonder the same for Sinn Fein. I also want to know what Irish members think about the attitude of the nationalist Sinn Fein in relation to immigration to Ireland. From what I can make out, Sinn Fein are toeing a multicultural line. I know that Sinn Fein is informed by some leftist idealogies.

I do not really understand the Irish political scene so forgive my ignorance. Apparently the parties all tend to be strongly pro-EU. The Irish run a tight ship economically also (?)
