COMMENTARY

Tiger (San diego) 15th November 2006	Ireland is a country of beauty and prosperity. In doing research about the country I have leraned that it is in a better sitution then before. so what if the data needs to be updated.
Jensen (Ireland) 8th February 2007	I would well believe that Ireland is definitely in the top 5 wealthiest countries in the world as it is one of the most taxed. It is apparantly the most expensive place to live & shop in Europe
