Whenever I see the 'Ireland is Full' mob in the news, I often think of this map. I think I took the photo at the Dunbrody Famine Ship Museum, years ago. There was a time when it was *our* people leaving their country in their masses, either fleeing a crisis or in search of a better life.

If I were about to go to war, I'd not fire all the experienced people at the top of various parts of the armed forces. Like, my military expertise is limited to teaching the Roman army but that seems not the thing to do.
