ALL ABOUT IRELAND
For such a small country, Ireland has certainly had its share of ups and downs over the past several decades. As a divided nation (Northern Ireland as part of the UK and the Republic of Ireland as part of the EU), these are interesting times to say the least. Add to that the fact that Sinn Fein recently won an electoral victory in Northern Ireland, and the uncertainties about the political future of Ireland continue to grow. This Active Minds discussion is sure to be lively!
