Africa is still a 3rd world country so don't be expecting any sausage rolls from them anytime soon.

African countries are 3rd world because of their governments corruption and idiotic spend on arms and military.

Does that mean we'll see Hercules aircraft from Mali dropping fish n chips and curries over Tallaght?

3rd world countries were non NATO or USSR. We were a 3rd world country. African countries are poor because of corruption not because of their military alliance in the 70s and 80s.

Ireland wasn't even a "3rd world " country in 1918.

Never going to happen, people in that part of the world are too self centered.

It's high time that we stopped sending Foreign Aid to Africa. It is a waste of money in that it is making them dependent on Western aid to survive. It is not doing them good in the long run, and they will continue to govern their societies sloppily until they are made to earn their keep, and not to mention make some effort at population control.

Many African countries sent us money during the great famine, long, long before we ever sent money over there

No. It was because we were starving to death. I doubt the empire had anything to do with it

The ones that had Irish missionaries. Ethiopia is one & I loved the fact that we got to return the favour. Money was sent from lots of places you might not expect ranging from England to native American tribes.

Well we (down the chain from the multinationals and corrupt local elites) already benefit massively from the cheap exploitation of their resources

Build a Lidl nearby and not only will he eat for a lifetime, he can buy a canoe and satellite dish at the same time

Third World countries should aspire to Second World status, before becoming First World. Baby steps.

They'll never amount to much if it's just one self interested group grabbing power one after the previous self interested group is ousted.
