  Jimmy, The Irish used to give free lodging and free education to Anglo-Saxons in the seventh century, to learn about Christianity in Ireland, and Irish monks were so welcome in England. They helped lay the Foundations of the English Church. There is an unbreakable bond between Ireland and England.
  In the seventh century, and long before, both the Scots and the Picts inhabited parts of Ireland and of Scotland, so again the relations between the Irish and the Scots go back to common history.
  Many people in Australia descend as much from the Irish as from the Scots and the English and the Welsh. We also have the Saint Patrik Cross as part of our Union Flag. Near Aldershot where I lived, we had Irish neighbours, many Irish soldiers in the Army, and we always saw each-other as part of the same people. There is so much positiveness in our history of the British Isles that it cannot stop, even in a recession. It is in times of need is when one knows who friends are!
