"The quote IN context."
The present crisis is an international one affecting many countries.
In spite of the mess that Britain left the country in (unchallenged by you, who have consistently argued that because a carefuly selected minority of the population of Ireland are in favour of partition, there is no other alternative), Ireland eventually did well out of Europe and became one of the leading European states.
The present crisis, caused by the very nature of capitalism, has lost any gains made over the last couple of decades.
That is my attitude to what is happening at present and that of most people on this thread, in Ireland, Britain and all over the world, (you have declined to comment and, in your usual fashion, have leeched off other people's opinions and suggestions).
