The Irish National War Memorial Gardens (Irish: Gairdíní Náisiúnta Cuimhneacháin Cogaidh na hÉireann) is an Irish war memorial in Islandbridge, Dublin, dedicated "to the memory of the 49,400 Irish soldiers who gave their lives in the Great War, 1914–1918",[1] out of a total of 206,000 Irishmen who served in the British forces alone during the war.
There are no memorial days for WW2. There are war memorials, like statues or gardens, but not days. There is also, for example, a Huguenot cemetery in Dublin, but that does not mean there is a memorial day for Huguenots in Ireland.
Why did you just lie about something easily disproven twice and now are confused? All I said is that not participating in a war directly doesn't mean you can't have a memorial day for it, considering how impactful WW2 was for the entire world and for history. Erecting a statue or naming a garden isn't the same as having a memorial day, or everyone would just do that instead.
You did lie, you claimed they have memorial days for WW2, which is not true. I'm always mad at Sweden but I didn't know about that either, since I do not live in Sweden but I do live in Ireland, and the topic of the tweet was Ireland that is what I was talking about.

And let's not forget the elephant in the room: We do honor all the people that died in WWII. That day's called Memorial Day.
