Irish homeowners now allowed to shoot intruders

Outstanding.

And it seems as law enforcement backs this decision too!

The new home defense bill has moved the balance of rights back to the house owner if his home is broken into "where it should always have been", say top Irish police.

The law used to require homeowners to retreat. That's bullshit. I'm really glad to see they got it right this time. Protect the home.

Not every US state adopts the Castle Doctrine. I'm glad we live in a state that does.

Even then, most states have some qualifying loopholes that can screw you. They're made with domestic violence in mind (i.e., Sue can't shoot Jimmy if she locks him out for cheating on her and he breaks in to slap her silly), but truth is stranger than fiction. People rob their relatives.
