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
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 - it’s embedded also in who we choose as our national saint. Conor McGregor does not talk for Ireland.
Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig. Happy St.Patrick’s Day. We are so excited to be taking part in @DunLaoghaireTn parade starting at 11am. @dlrcc . See you there!
☘ Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh go léir ó fhoireann @CnaG ☘️
Bainigí taitneamh as an lá – ceiliúraimis ár dteanga, ár gcultúr, agus ár bpobal le bród!💚
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
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 @FourCourtsPress. Very happy with how it has turned out.

🚢 Shipping Update 🚢

Keeping freight & passengers moving smoothly between Ireland & Europe! 🌊⚓
'Stórchiste' 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.
