"The Irish economy, pummeled by the most severe housing bust in Europe, has collapsed. And the gossip around town is that Mr. Dunne, whose brazen deal-making and Donald Trump-like lifestyle epitomized the country’s euphoric boom, might be going bankrupt." http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/04/business/worldbusiness/04ireland.html?hp Does this mean that the Europeans aren't coming, after all?

The Irish were here in droves before Christmas-- shopping like crazy. I walked into Macy's in Herald Sq and felt like I was at the Brown Thomas on Grafton St in city centre Dublin. What will become of Macy's now?

The Irish were here in droves in 1860, too. Didn't get us out of the Civil War.
