Hurrah for the Celtic Tiger

Forget the doom and gloom about the boom. Barbara Scully reminds us of what we got right during the good times

IN THESE dark days of recession it’s very easy to look back on the halcyon era of Ireland’s Celtic Tiger with a mix of embarrassment and guilt. Although I don’t believe that “we all partied”, I think some certainly did. And of course there were many things that should have been sorted by our Government when we had the money to do so.

However, we did get some things right during the Tiger years. It may cheer us up to be reminded of just some of them.
