THINGS ain’t what they used to be.
Last week, we received the latest missive about how the Irish are conducting themselves abroad. The owner of a hostel in North Queensland in Australia has made it known that it doesn’t want any Irish nationals staying there any more. What gives the story greater ballast is that this proprietor is an Irishman.
Thomas Dunne is a Dubliner who has been living in Australia for the past 25 years. He runs a hostel and adjoining bar near the famous Airlie beach resort in Queensland. Yesterday, in the Irish Examiner, he laid out why he no longer wants to put up with his countrymen or women.
"The Irish are the only ones to have caused deliberate damage," he said. "This year we have had eight Irish backpackers. It’s only the start of the season and already six have been thrown out. Two of the Irish lads were kicked out at 2am. We had them arrested and charged for damage done to our accommodation.
