    Default De Valera and Michael Collins would be delighted !

    Who writes these little intros to the Escort pages ?
    'Cork is sometimes known as the real capital, as it was the centre of the anti treaty movement during the Civil War. As there are so many escorts in Cork it could be regarded as the Sex capital "

    Hmm. I expected this to go a whole other way, i.e. rolling in their graves to see how the Republic of Ireland has been turned into a bad joke where the rich sit pretty and the poor struggle.

    I think the intro is very understated. They could have referred to the wonderful clients amongst its many outstanding attributes.

    Were Dev and MC known for their socialist views? Are you not rather thinking of James Connolly?

    The ideal Ireland that we would have, the Ireland that we dreamed of, would be the home of a people who valued material wealth only as a basis for right living, of a people who, satisfied with frugal comfort, devoted their leisure to the things of the spirit – a land whose countryside would be bright with cosy homesteads, whose fields and villages would be joyous with the sounds of industry, with the romping of sturdy children, the contest of athletic youths and the laughter of happy maidens, whose firesides would be forums for the wisdom of serene old age. The home, in short, of a people living the life that God desires that men should live.

    Yes he did, unusual for a man from New York City.
