<human>:  Why do you think that irish people have anger problems?
<bot>: I don’t have any specific information on Irish people or anger issues. I can provide statistics on general rates of violence in Ireland. According to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, Ireland has a relatively low rate of violence among European countries, with 5.2 homicides per 100,000 people in 2016. The global average for homicides is 9.6 per 100,000 people. In comparison, the United States has a homicide rate of 5.3 per 100,000 people. While homicides rates are relatively low in Ireland, it is important to investigate causes and seek solutions for reducing violence. In 2017, there was a spike in the number of homicides in Ireland. It is believed that the spike is primarily due to domestic disputes and gang violence.
