Ireland has changed considerably in the past 5-15 years, especially in her cities and villages. Her contemporary face is modern with the makeup of being part of the EU, yet its souls & roots are its people. The Irish abroad, the Irish emigrants - be they local or scattered. Irish who grew up there or who haven't visited recently may have a little trouble imagining how "the old country" could change so fast. Ireland is a new country blended with its past, present & future. Still its greatest export is its people.
