No. Whenever I think of Ireland, I always think of beautiful green grass and I just think of it as such a nice place I would love to go visit. My ancestors are from Ireland, and I would just really love to go and see it. I am American by the way. Their is no telling what y'all think of us. lol

Economists report Ireland's economy is booming.

So maybe you need to expand your reading.

lots of rich English and Irish lords used to live in Ireland
but they had a big famine and millions imigrrated to America,
so yes Ireland was generaly considerd a country with many poor peasents
but only in the recent past i think
many centuries ago there were very powerfull irish clans
they were the left overs of Celtic civilisations which were very advanced for their time
but that was a long time ago ,civil wars ,invading Vikings ,famine ,and English invasions beat them up somewhat.

We are in the 21st century here....Second most expensive place in Europe. Things are alot up to date that ye think....
The pictures of the "poor" people must have been from the mid 1800's when the famine was, 1845 -1847..
Come here to see for your self, and don't just visit Dublin.. Good place and all but is just a small part of Ireland..

The Irish economy is booming,Dublin is a modern European city & a par with London,Paris,etc,we are so progressive,even our big neighbour,UK,look at us with envy.What turned it around for us,was joining the Euro.

Many people see it as a country of poor peasants because that's how the Irish portray themselves to others.

Here in Scotland, they still go on about the potato famine, their poor ancestors and how they were discriminated against when they came to our shores.

Why Not!
