Then I’m happy for you - I really am. I might disagree whether Ireland meets your list of essentials, but then, it’s truly a matter of perspective, isn’t it? And in this discussion, it’s your perspective that matters most.

Don’t get me wrong - I’m certainly not against Ireland, for that’s the only ancestry of mine that I even know. But please accept my bow and sincere well-wishes, and raise a pint to all those in search of the best place to spend their sunset years.
