Bernie Goldbach points to what sounds like a disturbing set of papers on the social fabric of Ireland. I wonder how many descendents of the Irish diaspora, such as myself, hold an overly romantic and idyllic image of Ireland, in much the same way many people also view Hawai’i. While my wife and I were in Ireland during the summer of 2002, I let myself dream about what it would be like to move to Ireland, maybe retire there. The dreams were short-lived, for sure, but not because of stories like these.
