Nobody has ever been too enamoured by Carlow.

Typical of the sort of Irish that runs away when the going gets tough at home.
In 1840s that sort ran away from the famine, ran away to America
In the 1950s they ran away from TB, ran away to our oppressors in England
In the 1980s they ran away from unemployment, again to England, to be service monkeys for our protestant oppressors
In 2009 they ran away from the recession, ran away to Australia and NZ, again British colonial places.
Then they come back here, back with their money, looking down their nose at us here, thinking they can buy everything and be better than us. But they were the ones who ran away. We stuck it out here, we stayed. WE STAYYYYED. WE STAYYYYED.
