..Tat capital of Ireland

Sounds very fishy

Sounds very fishy , from the list of the purchased goods shown , the size of the population , and the position of the county at the centre of Eire(cross roads east/west/north/south transit smuggling?) , much of what is purchased , would represent what some one in the illegal money laundry business would buy and sell , targeting high volume legit goods , which then can be off loaded back for real cash!

Something , is not quite right , on the Emerald Isle?

Typical anti-Irish propaganda...

... who'd be stupid enough to use eBay (registration, ISP-IP, email-traffic) and perhaps even PayPal (more personal details stored electronically) for contraband in the EU.

Wake up, this is 21st century Ireland - the Paddys are an industrial nation now, not the 1950's farmers you must have in mind.

De Internet has reached da bog, or what's left of it. I suppose it explains why Irish GDP is higher than that of the UK and is rising faster. As for an industrial nation: It's a POST industrial economy.

Eire means Ireland (all of it) in Irish. It is not =the Republic. Ian Paisley lives there, even if he still says no, never and no surrender.
