In fairness, the accusations that Irish people were way too religious are probably correct from how I’ve heard older people describe it back then. I grew up in the 90s/00s, and I think that was when we really transformed and moved away from that bollocks.

To be fair if you interviewed Irish people in 1985 there would probably be more negativity towards the English.
My grandfather exclusively referred to them as “The Tans” and didn’t agree with Irish people playing English sports, echoes some of the GAA sentiment at the time

Lived in England a few years ago and you’d be surprised how many people still think like this

I thought it was going to be way worse considering the year and ira were bombing England at this stage

Most notable thing about the video is the minorities interviewed have more positive views on the Irish than they do the English. As if they have a totally mutual understanding of what it’s like to be prejudiced towards.
Saying that, in all my life I’ve never met an English person that I didn’t get along with or shared the same sense of humour with. It’s almost as if a lot of the historical hatred and prejudice was / is driven by a small number with most of the messaging coming from media / parliamentary figures and the traditional ruling classes.
