Insight as to what’s happening to Ireland
People,
I found this article on the Washington Post website.

You might find it interesting. There are a multitude of changes happening in Ireland lately. We’ll get to see many of them.

So now that you’ve been in Ireland for a couple of weeks, what are your impressions of the economy and the culture? Limerick is more industrial than most of Ireland, so are the changes being noticed even there?

Limerick has changed greatly over the last ten years: housing, commerical space, road construction and alike.
However, I traveled to Dublin last weekend, and it was unrecognizable. I had been to Dublin twenty years ago and was not prepared for the changes. Twenty years ago Dublin was very different for a European city. It was as if it had been frozen in the 19th century. Today it’s very modern: pedestrian malls, three story shopping complex, coffee shops on every corner, traffic jams, a bevy of outstanding restaurants (something that twenty years ago were in short supply), and a large number of different languages heard on the streets. I toured the Guininess Brewery and they have a seventh floor pub that has a 360 view of the city. I counted 47 construction cranes around the city. Buildings are going up at an amazing rate.

I searched for a while to find the right answer to my questions!
