What Was Life Really Like?
Ireland's economy was recovering strongly, growing at 7% — the fastest in Europe. Property prices were rising again in Dublin, raising concerns about a new bubble. Ireland was becoming a genuine hub for European tech operations.
The Marriage Equality referendum was approved in 2015 — but the campaign was well underway this year. Ireland was about to become the first country in the world to approve same-sex marriage by popular vote. The country was almost unrecognisable from 1950.
