Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Daoibh
Today is Ireland’s national holiday. This being so, it stands to reason that there will be major parades across the world – particularly in the United States – and new Taoiseach Enda Kenny will be the guest of Barack Obama in the White House. Of course, today the US President is Barack O’Bama.
Ireland’s fortunes have taken a big hit of late, but this is one day when it is able to attract good-natured attention from Washington to, sort of, Beijing. So if you’re Irish – and on this day that means everyone – have a good St Patrick’s Day.
