I thank Dr. Byrne. I started on page 1 and will finish on page 239, which is the final page. In the last sentence of Dr. Byrne's book, she writes, "Ireland’s loss of economic sovereignty in 2010, due to a perception of political failure and the unorthodox influence of vested interests, may yet motivate Irish public life to engage in state building and re-imagine Irish society with an emphasis on the moral duties of citizenship". Has the body politic done enough to see a positive outcome in respect of that statement?
