Irish headache?

Apparently Ireland is deep into the depression once again. I am not too sad remembering the two Irish pound pints of Guinness when visiting back in the late nineties, before the Celtic tiger infused hubris. It seems like the money-flow in the years to come was badly used for personal benefits before social welfare. Houses were bought for prices suitable to a millionaire by the man on the street, with empty wallet. Meanwhile, the prime minister went drunk on the radio. Visiting my old Irish friend in Dublin about a year ago, the pubs tried to make some use of the bad economy by advertising “depression steak” on the menu. I am not surprised this happened, but being a lovely people I hope they will recover soon.
