    There hasn't been a trocaire box in our house since I left primary school.

    I remember once the carnival came to our village, myself and my sisters went over with the few pounds that were given to us, we went through them in about an hour. We went home to see if we could get more and our parents were gone, we raided the trocaire box and went back and had money to stay for another couple of hours.

    My posts were all about what were people meant to give in the 50s. As they had nothing themselves.
    But they did. They did have money, they did have resources. We know this because they donated them, quite famously so.

    Resources and money may have been scarce in Ireland in the 1950s, but to suggest that Ireland had nothing, when it was demonstrably more wealthy and better off than poverty stricken Africa, is blatantly and visibly untrue. If you can't, or won't, admit your error in suggesting that Ireland had nothing, then that's your own issue.
