I always felt that Ireland had neutrality forced upon it. They might not have cared much for the Nazis but any decision to join the Allies would have seen British troops back on Irish soil, which given recent history would simply not have worked. Better to remain neutral and avoid giving Germany any excuse to invade. IIRC the Royal Navy ensured their perimeter was large enough to ensure an invasion of Ireland was less likely. I also read somewhere that the secret services of Britain and Ireland was closer that anyone admitted Once the USA entered the war, Ireland was less concerned about Germany and were maybe less neutral than before. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-53528692 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the European parliament when Ian Paisley spoke he would put on his headphones and listened to the nice female who translated it into French instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember someone working out that the annual maintenance costs of his properties amounted to more than his lifetime's declared income. Very few political leaders who don't retire suspiciously wealthy though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendan Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Hogan was obviously a gigantic cock well before this, but the sense of self-entitlement is utterly astonishing. It's a bit hard to ride out such blatant lying when you actually have a boss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
