The Celtic Tiger

The Celtic Tiger was a time of rampant cash floating around an island that had never seen such wedge. People had second homes in Bulgaria and went on long weekends away to Australia to do some shopping and show off their permed hair and gold teeth. Farmers checked in on their livestock by helicopter, grannies wouldn't get out of bed for less than a 50 quid note and priests were making so much money that at one point the richest man in Ireland was a Father Murphy who had an ATM set up right next to his altar. But was it all doom and gloom? Or was it an enjoyable time?
