With the pandemic seemingly receding, I visited Dublin where I took the chance to see how the other half live - the Swedes who have made Ireland their home. Anton Berglund moved to Ireland for a job last November, whereas Vanessa Moore arrived in Cork to study and in 1999 and is still in Ireland. Answering perhaps the most important question of all, writer, comedian and spoken word artists Kalle Ryan was born to a Swedish mother and an Irish father - so who does he cheer for when Zlatan meets James McClean?
