Fintan O’Toole, a columnist at The Irish Times for nearly 30 years, has just finished a four-part series of reflections about the state of modern Ireland. His thoughts are contextualized by last year’s Easter Rising centenary and the massive political, social, economic and religious changes on the island, north and south, especially over the past decade.
The series is called the “State of Us,” and it’s well worth the read.
Part 1: Ireland’s story doesn’t make sense any more
Part 2: Irish identity is no longer fit for purpose
Part 3: Irish nationalism needs a revolution
Part 4: The ties that bind
