OK. Point taken. 😊

But the UK decided to #brexit and I have lived in the US for some years. 😇

@brembs Ireland, joined the EEC in 1973, still in the EU, official language English, joint with Irish in their constitution. Malta, second language Maltese, English officiial. English widely spoken in Cyprus but not offiical.

English is an official working language of the EU along with German and French.

We know you think we are in the UK and it is inconvenient for Europe that Ireland is still in the EU but those are the facts.

Touché! I read "English" and thought of England. You are completely right.

And no, we love the Irish, as does everybody else, and of couirse it's great we are all together in the EU. 😊
