It would be great if this were true, because I have always thought Irish people tended to be racist, and given our history, it makes me cringe. This is encouraging news.

In the North you can be pleasently surprised as well. In Antrim Town slogans have appeared on walls, people have been attacked and threatened. And yet, in a working class pub in the town, there are people from all nationalities and colours drinking together without rancour. It is not one of these forced "some of my best friends ...." type of thing, it is that natural that local people hardly notice the newcomers.

So there is hope here, especially as much of the racism is caused by young people who in the recent past could have been gainfully employed attacking Catholics.
