    Typical island mentality, what happens there won’t affect us here. Hope the sea level rises soon.

      I’m sorry how is this typical of an Island? Would island people not fear sea water rising? Is it not historically the Americans and Saudis…notably not island dwelling people who have denied and benefitted from fossil fuels usage and worked against efforts to slow or prevent climate change.

        People are allowing for this to happen, aren’t they? Maybe when they are touched by the consequences we, as society, will react.

          Your reply is not related and raises a different point. I think you initial comment was dismissive and needlessly pointless and gloomy.

      Quite the opposite. Ireland is quite outward looking with strong ties to multiple other regions, like the USA, EU and UK.

      In fact I would say the most successful islands are those that realize they are small in a big world.
