No-one in the first 11 countries thought it was necessary to hold their state to ransom - despite Irish wages being higher in most of those countries above and below Ireland.
It's amazing how you don't see scenes of mass illegal blockades & countries being held to ransom in countries with higher fuel prices.
It's almost like their people realise this is a period of global crisis & they choose to act in the best interests of the country not themselves

34,000 attended the women’s Euros final on Sunday.
Huge chance for the LGFA to set an ambitious target and try to clear their own 2019 record of 56,000. I’ve no doubt Meath fans will travel in numbers, as they have for previous finals and for the men’s games this summer
Simon Harris eviscerates Pearse Doherty.
"Collecting the killers of Jerry McCabe from the gates of prison. Don't you dare present yourself as a defender of the Republic. There's Gardai dead in this country as a result of the actions of your partys army wing".
I did this cameo for a laugh when I was visiting the set. It wasn’t in the script & there was no rehearsal. We just filmed 2 idiots ad libbing. What a fun morning.
Perhaps somebody might explain to me the moral difference between:
herding people into "food distribution points" then shooting them,
and herding people into "shower rooms" then gassing them?
🧵 Conor McGregor ambushed a bus full of MMA players resulting to injuries and damages which he was later sued for.
Conor: ‘If your coming to our country with a criminal history, gone’
I guess by his logic he should never be allowed in other countries.
