I was reading stuff earlier and came across this story of traditional discrimination and bigotry in Ireland.

Quote:
Perhaps a final word is best left to a prominent Jew from Cork, a descendant of the Limerick diaspora, who was interviewed on Irish television in the 1970s as part of a series examining the treatment of minorities in the Republic. Asked if he had personally experienced prejudice, he replied, "Oh yes. Yes indeed," and then, after a pause, added, "In Dublin, you know, they always have the knife out for the Corkman."
