What would Ireland be like with just Irish People in it?

Andy From Sligo

Yes its another one of those Andy Controversial Threads again - First off I am not being racist and I hope the thread wont descend into a load of racist drivel. - as always if you hate any of my views or threads on Boards you are welcome to not feel you have to join in and answer and are welcome to go search hundreds of more posts on boards to reply to

had some idle time on my hands today and thought (as you do) I wonder what the world be like today if everyone who was born in their own country stayed in their own country and didnt/werent allowed to emigrate to another country, what kind of a world would it be like today? - would each country manage to survive with the citizens it had?

what for example would we do if a lot of our very well trained Doctors in hospitals, a lot of them who are of Indian/asian decent and a lot of Filipino Nurses would those vacancies be abled to be filled by Irish people?

What about other things like over population infrastructure and unemployment - would there be houses available for everyone to live in Ireland and would everyone have a job? - Could Ireland survive without foreigners and immigrants do you reckon with just the amount of Irish people who were born here or does Ireland need/rely on foreign people ?

Whats your view on it?

As I say its only up for discussion and to make you sit down and think on what (Ireland or any country come to think of it) would be like if years ago there was a strong policy of countries not allowing people to reside and work in other countries.

How far back do we have to go to get a pure Irish population? Well since St Patrick was probably Welsh he would never have come here so that's Catholicism out the window.

Then we need to take the Vikings, Norman's and English out. We would be been spared all that 800 years of oppression. But we would also lose the reason to hate England and enjoying when they fcuk up. Also without the Brits who would we have to blame for the way things are.

Often driven through Leitrim, seems like a lovely place.

No. There was a black guy here in 1985. I saw him.

As a filthy emigrant to the UK, I don't like the OP's idea at all.

It would be less well travelled, have less new ideas, more rear of foreigners and their foreign ways. It would be a sh1thole. We criticise people and areas who don't tend to travel outside their place if birth as boring and insular. It sounds dreadful.

There wouldn't be an Ireland or an Irish people.

There would be an island with elks on it, but they wouldn't be called elks.

I'd say we have just as many hostilities as we do we other races today. Instead of racism towards Chinese, Blacks & Indians which we don't have too much of we would have prejudice towards people of Cavan, Meath & Roscommon. Ireland had a clan culture during the Celtic period so in everyday life Irish people would be like what we see at the GAA.










So this would be Ireland all the time. Plenty of evidence at all the GAA matches.

OP, I've found you're answer, easily wound up and a bit more aggressive.

Think of the Tourism element though. Look at how quaint / quirky and laid back Ireland was in the 80's and early 90's though - be great to get back to that. Too much 'European' now, morphed into what a lot of other european cities and towns look like rather than what Ireland used to look and feel like

Ireland for the Irish. Racism has been around for a long time in Ireland.

Can you give some examples? Most of the towns I knew back in the 90s were dumps and are just as **** nowadays and could do with a lot more euorpeanising imo.
