The Irish were neutral during The Emergency.
If that means 'You're either with us, or against us', then David, you may well indeed have a point.

Some would call that Pretzel logic, however.

The Republic was neutral to the degree that wayward British soldiers were given safe passsage back to their bases... via the wee six, when downed, or captured.
The Germans were promptly interned.

Given that England's difficulty was always Ireland's opportunity, I think you got off fairly light, actually.

I always wondered what the craic would have been, had the Germans actually invaded and occupied England.
Would the resistance movement created on the back of that, be similar to that which we now call 'Terrorism'?

Thank your lucky stars, oh arrogant ones, that the shoe was never on the other foot, and that you never had to make that choice to sacrifice your precious humanity, when your whole identity was at stake.

We did.
And we are stronger than you because of it.
