Really?
In Germany, 79 cities > 100000
In Ireland, 3 (including Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland)
My comment was not meant to express any valuation or disvaluation of Ireland. It’s focus is about differences in age structures, population density, and vaccination strategy / execution, which makes it difficult to take Irelands approach as template for any other country.
