As the progeny of both Protestant Ulstermen and Catholic Republicans, I give you my condolences when I hear of The Republic's current ailments.
From a historical perspective, however, I'm genuinely interested in how this happened. (I know that a similar trend, albeit to a much lesser extent, has embedded itself within the DUP in NI). Do you think it has anything to do with Fianna Fail's quasi-one-party-status for decades, or is it deeper than that? The Republican-descended members of my family genuinely never wished to discuss the topic with me, so I'd like the viewpoint of a native Irishman.
