Maturity

New Irelander blog's newest piece was written by me earlier today. Please follow the link.

"The archaic insolence of dissident republicanism may be disturbing, but it harks to a time before social networking and online sharing. A dominating characteristic of life for young people in Ireland in the 21st century is boundless interconnection; it is difficult to avoid a growing attachment to each other with the prevalence of Twitter, Facebook, Google+, etc. (whether we like it or not). In light of this modern webscape, a mature New Ireland must hatch from the adolescent ‘Peace Process’."

It was published on 27th March, and may be read here.
