When you look at it like this you really see that Dublin as a Capital had nothing to do with benefiting Ireland and everything to do with extracting wealth to England. It’s like a funnel
Frank Gibney's vision for a united Ireland in 1944 involved a new capital in Co Longford, wind farms on the boundaries of major towns, and a rebalancing between urban and rural industrialisation. Have to give him credit for the pure ambition!
