No, it's a sign of massive excess capacity brought on by the collapse of our economy several years ago along with low oil prices, European QE (making our exports cheaper), and the fact U.S. firms are choosing to pay corporation taxes here.

Irish people sperging out because of our inferiority complex is the reason we're one of the best countries in the world. We're literally fucking terrified of being called morons or poor or shit. It's not being wealthy that drives Irish people to wanting to be great, it's a fear of being called sub-humans again.
So, yes, you might not love the country, but most of us do, and even shitposting on a Malayan Tapestry will trigger a bout of "WE'RE FUCKING BETTER THAN YOU" posting.

Is Ireland still getting flooded by chinks and niggers?
What & of Dublin is even White anymore?
>>52045796
not really. thats mostly memes. theres more poles than anything
still too many foreigners though. its not london tier though
some guy (op) is making anti ireland threads all over the place for some reason
>>52045796
I moved back to Dublin a few months ago. There's a lot of niggers in comparison to the countryside, but it's still obviously majority white. The only thing that makes it look like there's no Irish is the Spanish/French students and the Irish chicks who get fake tans and look foreign themselves.
I'd say it's still a strong 70-80% Irish though. Maybe down to 50% if you're in the city centre.
>>52045951

theyre cunts though

>>52046009
Not bad.
Are you guys still letting lots of them in though? That's what really matters.
I once saw this makeup guru video of some chink girls with an irish accent, and it turns out she had a chink boyfriend with an Irish accent as well and that there was a disgusting chinktown somewhere in Ireland. That's fucked up.
>>52045796
They're getting flooded with global pharmaceutical companies at least.
>>52046163
It's true though. Ireland is a dump and a non-country.

Stop hanging around Sheriff Street then you knacker bastard.
>>52046103

Less than a thousand people apply for asylum here, and we usually refuse most of them.

Most Poles have left, and there's a census next year, so we'll find out then, I guess. We're still like high 80% Irish, and mid 90% European.

Irish went through a phase were everyone hated it for a while, but the last census showed an increase in the number of speakers (both who used it every day and who use it regularly), and we're seeing more resources devoted to it. Young people especially.

Seen her on the bus a handful of times. I do this weird thing where I memorize where people get on and off the bus if I see them on it more than once. No idea why.
>She makes Irish girls look slim and sensible.
Never spoken to any Germans. You visit Germany often?
>>52048294
Aye, most people don't even bother with "t" anyway.
"Ah mar-in wha' are ye doing"
>>52048348
Depends on the word, I think. Native speakers regularly mispronounce words just for ease of saying.
France
Frainc = sounds like Frank in English
But if you're saying "in France" it would be "sa Fhrainc" and sounds like a french R (and the h makes the Fh silent).

its more like the german r
>>52048542
I have lately. Imagine an Ireland that's much nicer. Basically the same culture. They love beer and meat and potatoes, traditional instruments, dress and song. Their weather kicks the shit out of ours and they have had money in their past so they have beautiful castles and huge beer halls.
Irish pubs are actually superior. Who wants to drink in a large spacious well lit hall? I prefer small, dark, smelly old pubs.
The people have a hint of autism about them like people from Scandinavian countries.
Berliners are basically skangers.

I'd give it about 15 years before their taxes are hiked on the few Germans young enough to work to pay for all the old niggers. Ireland will probably be a better place to live in the long-term, we're not going into decline.

My Grandad (who never left Ireland) was a full on Nazi who used to say how great Hitler was at every opportunity. We made fun of him for it till the day he died. In a nice way of course. They hated the British and Germany was a country they were impressed by.

I met an Irish woman once, in a National Park in Utah. She was ecstatic to talk about Ireland, and was quick to say that she believes Americans have a positive reception when they visit. Even when I asked her about people who go there for heritage reasons, she said people are not bothered by that. Her family owned a bed and breakfast on the west coast of Ireland, and she invited me to come sometime if I ever go to Ireland. I scribbled my email on a scrap piece of paper before we parted ways.
3 months later, I still have not gotten any email from her.
>Ireland used to be good but is now shitty
I'm no expert on Europe, but I think it's safe to say that if anything Ireland's at its best it's ever been.
Not that it's much of an accomplishment
