There was certainly a time when that was the case, but even that's died out now. I saw Stiff Little Fingers last summer (supporting The Stooges) and not only were they bloody marvellous, but they got a great reception from the Dublin crowd.

I left Ireland in 1983 and returned in 2006. Few places can have changed so much in so short a time. Many (most?) of those changes have not been for the better in my opinion, but the peace process and the loosening of the Church's hold have been positive.
