going to create Ireland and I’m going to be very generous. I will make it a country of dark beautiful mountains, purple glens, and rich
green forests. I will give it clear swift flowing rivers and I shall fill them with salmon. The land shall be lush and fertile, on which
people will grow barley to brew it into nectar that will be much searched for by the entire world. Under the land, I will lay rich seams
of coal. In the waters around the shores, there will be an abundance of fish, and beneath the sea, there will be vast deposits of oil and
gas.”
