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 - itโ€™s embedded also in who we choose as our national saint. Conor McGregor does not talk for Ireland.

Looking forward to speaking about the Irish Boundary Commission at the @CAIS_Irish annual meeting in Toronto in June.
Replying to @CAIS_Irish

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 โฆ@FourCourtsPressโฉ. 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.

Has to be one of the most disgusting press conferences ever held.
Trump, with Netanyahu sitting next to him, says "Gaza maybe is a demolition site right now ... you can't live in Gaza right now. I think we need another location."
