Historically, war and famine were often brought to Ireland by bankers in the city of London. Money was "imported" because Ireland did not mine its own gold and silver. What does this mean ? It means that Ireland produced and traded raw exports like lamb, beef, pork, fish, etc, and got "money" in return. When that money was real and hard like gold and silver, it worked great. They were on the world stage of value. But when England substituted paper currency for gold and silver, things went downhill fast.

The history of Ireland got very dark and few people know the root causes to this "economic cancer" witch has been simple and deadly.

One root cause to MUCH of Ireland's past maladys has come from a simple switch from gold and silver money to FIAT currency, and the fact that Ireland never had their own gold and silver mines. The British pound to the Euro were inflated at will. The 3 or 14%+ compounded inflation wiped away 99% of spending power in 5 to 25 years. Where Inflated FIAT money is used, a civilized society dies a slow death. Ireland suffered dearly from fake fiat money begining in late 1400s when reserve banks were first formed. War, famine, and overall struggle have been entrenched in Ireland's history. Monitary policy had a huge part in this .
