What Was Life Really Like?
Brexit continued to dominate politics — Boris Johnson became UK Prime Minister and the tension around the Irish border question was acute. Ireland was quietly but firmly holding its position in the EU, and Brussels was supporting it. The economy was growing strongly.
Dublin property prices were a genuine crisis. Leo Varadkar called a snap election for early 2020. Connacht won the rugby Champions Cup.
Ireland was confident, cosmopolitan, and watchful.
