Instead, we have a diamond-shaped society. The vast bulk of people are happily middle-class with an isolated underclass and a privileged oligarchy existing untouched at the edges.
That's such a worthless analysis of Irish society that it's not worth even engaging with. Basically it comes from the yfg school of, all working class people are skangers in tracksuits ready to rob your car.

It's so simplistic as to be useless.

If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money it values more, it will lose that too.
