"The Irish people of Dublin and other cities in Ireland are very tolerant on this issue. Further, that is a historical attitude among the Celts as well."

Since you are so obviously intelectually superior to a poor Paddy like me you might then explain why there is such a huge increase in racial intolerance in Dublin, Galway and Limerick. It seems to me that it might be the same attitude that leads us to exclude Gays and Lesbians from a parade.
You are factually incorrect to describe Ireland as the celts. In fact the Celts were the last of seven? races to colonise Ireland. Some of the others were if memory serves me right Formorians, Nemesians, Fir Bolgs and Tuatha de Dannan. In later times we were also colonised by The Vikings and the Normans not to mention the plantations. So the current Irish race is a bit of a mixture and not the pure race you describe.
Also if I remember correctly the Celts were not particularly tolerant of the De Dannan whose Spiritual wisdom they feared.
