I discuss with Buck Mulligan, Irish nationalism and British Imperialism. Starting with the  Anglo-Norman Invasion to modern times, covering the influence of various invaders, the Irish plantation system, the potato famine, the Easter Rising, and the creation of the Republic of Ireland. We discuss the 'Troubles', the impact of paramilitary groups, and the Good Friday Agreements. Contemporary issues are also addressed; the effect of mass immigration on Ireland's demographics, potential economic forces, and the resurgence of nationalism in times of societal decline.
