In this episode, we look at the history of Irish currency in the Republic of Ireland from its origins in the Irish pound--pegged to the British pound Sterling--to the use of the Euro. Scottish politicians pushing for a Scottish referendum oriented around moving Scotland into the European Union have cited the history of Ireland's currency as an example of territories that have moved from the British pound to the Euro. However, the question of a Scottish referendum and a Scottish turn to the European Union has been repeatedly shut down in London most recently by Rishi Sunak, rendering the currency question moot.
