Hooked on History—But Fed on Lies
The Irish have a peculiar weakness for historical myths. So many falsehoods are repeated uncritically in the media that they now serve as mirrors reflecting the nation’s cultural prejudices.

But what happens when those facts are restored? Prepare to watch your opinions shift beneath your feet.
