    All the negative comments show there is a lot of jealousy about. Being Irish is special and a privilege. Only in Ireland can you have an impromptu music session in a public street with the local unarmed Police being able to join in and have a bit of fun.Other so called better countrys you would end up with riot police or being shot. Rock on Ireland.....a great place to live.
