Ordinary Irish people in the ‘trenches’ are finally learning how to fight back

Have we learnt anything in the 100 years since the beginning of World War 1? I don’t think so. Maybe we are all materially more comfortable than we were in 1918, but many problems are the same.

The poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer. The people dictating economic policy are so removed from the trenches that they have forgotten what it’s like to be an ordinary person.

But something strange has happened in Ireland, recently.
