At least he won’t have to make his millions from graft and corruption.

The Irish merely replaced British colonial government with one from the EU/Davos.

I saw a video (assume it was true) , it said the number one birth name in 2023 in some Irish cities was Muhammad.

It doesn’t take a genius to see in 100 years Ireland will be an Island but it won’t be the Ireland we know today.

Why are you using label words of the left? They are not liberals, they are leftists and communists, pure and simple.

Unlike with the United States, the president of Ireland doesn’t have a lot of actual power. Lots of ceremonial power, little actual power.

Not that Mr. McGregor asked me, but he needs to organize a political party and then get himself elected prime minister. That’s where the real power is.

And Mr. McGregor needs to be quick about it. Ireland is slipping into some sort of weird pro-Muslim fascist state.

“ but it won’t be the Ireland we know today.”

It has so drastically changed in the last ten years, and not in a good way.

Shoot... our president doesn’t have a whole lot of power either! All it takes is one judge to overturn anything.

Looking into activating my dual citizenship as both grandparents are Irish born and that means eligibility for grandchildren to be dual citizens

Anyone else of Irish descent should look into this to help Mr. McGregor

The guy is a room temperature-IQ angry midget with a total lack of self-control and has been hit in the head too many times.

Perhaps just the guy Ireland needs right now.
