Not surprised. Saw him on the news last night bet into a crowd with not one of them wearing a mask. Idiots!

I'm surprised you thought this was the right forum tbh

What is the "rotating" about? I never in my life have seen that posted like that before

There's a deal between FF & FG they'll 'share' the top job between em' ..... like Leo V gets another 'go' later in the year.... Martin isn't in the 'driving seat' till the next election

I know the agreement between the parties but I have never once seen anyone post like above. Very strange

I think he's more spinning by his back benchers than freely rotating tbh. The best of luck to him with the illness. Must be the unluckiest leader of FF. Between Brexit and Covid.

That's BJ you're thinking of

Mrcaramelchoc · 17-03-2022 9:52am

Lol

kirk. · 17-03-2022 9:55am

Either way he should be rotating his ass back here and not over there delivering shamrocks with everything going on atm

What a ridiculous statement. Ireland has a long proud connection with the US. Even today we have a huge amount of American companies based in Ireland who are employing Irish people.

This is a long held tradition and it would be a massive snub to the people of America and the Irish American community if the Taoiseach didn't go over. People these days are so bitter over everything, time to cop on

"A massive snub to the people of America " ?

Doubt they'd even notice apart from a few

So you don't know.

You do know that in Chicago they still change the river green on St Patrick Day. Which other country is that done for?

As I said, time to cop on.

kirk. · 17-03-2022 10:08am

I don't know , do you

Taoiseach has only been doing it since Ragen. Ambassadors etc did it previously.

Not sure if other head's of state and ministers from other countries skip off across the world on their National holiday. Seems to be a Paddy junket. I see Mary Lou is also throwing herself around the US at the moment. Maybe she can deputise for MM.

Last time Mary Lou was over she embarrassed herself and the entire country. You can find the image

Regan was president up till 1989, that's over 33 years ago now.

OK, time to close this. Wrong forum and an old story at this point.
