Outside DU, or at least in Europe, people usually mean by "neocons" the blatant military imperialism of the small Straussian cabal behind bush. Neoliberalism, of which Ireland was considered model example, refers to Friedman, Reagan, Thatcher class war thingy that both Democrats in US and social dems in Europe have adopted, continued and intensified.
