Neutral?

I always have had my doubts about the very religious country of Ireland. Now this from the BBC website..."Gerald Morgan, long-time professor of history at Trinity College, Dublin, explains...The uprisings, the civil war, all sorts of reneged promises - I'd estimate that 60% of the population expected or indeed hoped the Germans would win." So they were pulling for the people who would massacre six million Jews to win WWII. Nice people. Right up there with the Swiss, another supposedly neutral country.
