The real tragedy for these rural Irish communities is that because of forced emigration in the past decades and centuries, since this video was produced, rural Irish communities like this have not only been further decimated in so many other ways as we all know, including in terms of traditional Catholic faith and morals, but they are also been brow-beaten and threatened into accepting inward migration into Rural Ireland, even at the cost of making their own people homeless and having drugs problems, just like in any inner city areas, along with the kinds of crimes and criminal activity that goes along with it - the intention of those in power is clearly the total destruction of Rural Ireland
