Resumen

To summarize the news about Ireland that have reached Spain in 2018 requires at least a weather metaphor to explain the various turmoils and breezes of change that have shaken the country. At the beginning of the year Ireland was isolated by wild winds of the storm Emma that left high accumulations of snow and by the end of June the Irish population experimented the highest temperatures in Ireland since 1976. Similar turbulences in political, social or religious areas prove the country’s coping with conflicts and issues in this decade of the 21st century. Contrasts and clashes prove its struggle, movement and progress.
