In return the US would defend the house of saud from all aggressors. there are other parts to the deal but this is the important bit as a result - the US became rich and US dollar became the strongest currency If this deal collapsed the house of saud would probably be over thrown by somebody but more importantly from the US perspective the dollar would collapse this deal will survive no matter what happens - trump or no trump. so the Saudis get a better deal than anybody including but not limited to getting Saudi VIPs (the bin ladens) out of the US after 9/11 during the 3 day no fly order. I'll wager Enda Kenny couldn't swing that for Denis O'Brien.

That's a pretty dangerous mindset given the problems we've seen elsewhere in Europe - not to mention her budget for the exercise is being taken from resources already needed at home. I fear it's only a matter of time before we start seeing reports (probably only on social media as well) of some "incidents" on Irish soil as well. By then of course it'll be too late. Unfortunately, whether it's Canada, Germany, Sweden, or the UK is irrelevant. There's a common underlying issue here that's being ignored in the pursuit of liberal humanitarianism and social media high-fiving, and it's a problem that'll only get worse as long as this is ignored and anyone voicing concern is shouted down.

"I think the Irish people would be in favour of that and certainly the Irish-Americans would be favour of that as well," she said.

She's more than entitled to disagree with him, but not to use OUR country in her personal crusade (but as I said above, she has form there already too). Enda Kenny's quest to become Taoiseach again at any cost (including giving Zappone a platform and ministry to use for her personal agenda) may cost us all dearly yet.
