Why did they take so long is my question? If you look at the advance of the Red Army in WW2 through Eastern Europe and into Germany they were pointed directly at Ireland, and yet they stopped and allowed their shenanigans to continue. Irish to the gulags I say.

HaHa! But sorry, Batlord, i say

The Irish have humiliated an aggressive world superpower. Good for them! Like those 100 Spartans who held back the Syrian army, Trollheart and his fisherman friends have faced down the entire Russian Navy and won. I'm gonna buy myself the T-shirt when it comes out: TH on the prow of a fishing boat, halting a Russian destroyer in its tracks, Tiananmon Square style.
