Sobering lessons for young Irish abroad
Last week, we received the latest missive about how the Irish are conducting themselves abroad. The owner of a hostel in North Queensland in Australia has made it known that it doesn’t want any Irish nationals staying there any more. What gives the story greater ballast is that this proprietor is an Irishman.
Thomas Dunne is a Dubliner who has been living in Australia for the past 25 years. He runs a hostel and adjoining bar near the famous Airlie beach resort in Queensland. Yesterday, in the Irish Examiner, he laid out why he no longer wants to put up with his countrymen or women.
