Absolutely. This was an insult to Ireland. The only comfort I take is that he will never be President of Ireland-he would not manage to amass enough votes
#StPatricksDay2025
#Trump
What a calculated insult to Ireland.
Trump invited brawler
Conor McGregor to The White House today .
Not our elected Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD .
He had to visit several days earlier.

St Patrick was an immigrant and enslaved when he was captured and brought to Ireland. We in Ireland have utmost respect for immigrants and emigrants - itโs embedded also in who we choose as our national saint. Conor McGregor does not talk for Ireland.

Pity the organisers of "St. Patrick's Festival" in Dublin opted for a monolingual title for the event. Also, shame on @rte for doing likewise in the graphics accompanying the TV coverage of the parade. @stpatricksfest could have followed the example of Wales or Canada @CnaG

Errr....been saying so for bloody ages now.
UK needs to apply to rejoin the EEA (and agree a customs union with the EU27) if not the EU...now!!
As does Canada
Two veteran Ottawa hands argue that there's not much point seeking trade deals with the US because US signatures on deals have been exposed as worthless. financialpost.com/opinion/opโฆ

Looking forward to speaking about the Irish Boundary Commission at the @CAIS_Irish annual meeting in Toronto in June.
Dr Cormac Moore will be sharing his no doubt many insights from his forthcoming book entitled "Root of All Evil: The Irish Boundary Commission". We look forward to putting an exciting program together for guests, presenters and attendees! 2/2 @cormacmoore #irishincanada

Just as Fr Dougal McGuire does with rollerblading, I get a great buzz off receiving the first copies of a book I wrote. My book on Laois and the Irish Revolution arrived in the post today from โฆ@FourCourtsPressโฉ. Very happy with how it has turned out.

'Stรณrchiste' compiled by Nicholas Williams and edited by Michael Everson - excellent resource - highly recommended. Note the blazonry terms are given in Irish - Nicholas Williams has published two books on Irish Heraldry, one in Irish.

As geopolitics shifts at pace - watch how different states play into this. China is being very smart-support for Ukraine, willing to fill gaps left by US & so on. Turkey also playing a smart game. Will take EU & Europe longer but US administration will not get it all its own way.

Europe & EU are facing the greatest test probably since WW2. The Transatlantic relationship is in tatters. The U.K. & EU will have no say on outcome of Putin-Trump talks. Security in jeopardy & EU agency gone.

Censuses of Ireland, 1813-91. Check out Virtual Treasury, Census Gleanings, to see our latest additions, which include some census extracts from - wait for it - 1861, 1871, 1881 and 1891 (small numbers, I'm afraid). A long way to go, but we are well above 40k names in VRTI now.
