Rocky Road to Dublin
From Sunday 31st of July to Tuesday 2nd of August I was with John on a short journey to the English city of Chester, crossing first the Irish sea and after that the region of Wales. It permits me now to understand the extent to which Ireland has a specific place in the British Isles. Ireland distinguishes itself from its neighbours: it seems to be more favorable than the United Kingdom to the growth of an economic and political Europe.
However Ireland shares with Wales Viking roots and a Celtic language, so, is the Republic more linked with the UK than we might think? The special immigration agreement between the two countries suggests this (we were able to travel from one to another pratically without being checked). But the recent economic crisis might lead to less human and commercial exchange. A risk for the links between these two island nations?
