Let me try to explain. When Joe Biden says he’s Irish, that’s shorthand for Irish American, which is a widely-held American identity. There is no equivalent in Ireland, mainly because we are not a traditional host country for immigrants where hybrid identities have evolved.

Leo Varadkar's father was from India, but the Taoiseach has never gone around claiming to be Indian - but still he goes along with Joe Biden telling everyone that he's Irish because a few of his great great grandparents were from here. It's such a cod.

In 1973, Ireland was an outlier in Western Europe. Far behind other EEC members in economic terms; the sole non-NATO member among the 9; socially, far more conservative. The others were sceptical of 🇮🇪’s membership credentials. They accepted us primarily as a UK add-on.

When sizing up Ireland’s support for Ukraine, it is only fair to note that Ireland now hosts some 80,000 Ukrainians (which in relative terms would equate to 1 million for the UK) & also contributes its full share to EU aid for Ukraine. It is not sitting on the fence on #Ukraine .

I was honoured to be asked to propose a toast to President @JoeBiden @NewDemCoalition ’s Inauguration Day celebration. It will be a privilege to pay tribute to a President with such strong Irish heritage. My toast will have to be a strong one to match to the prescribed cocktail!

I can’t thank you all enough for the positive comments that are flooding my mentions right now. I posted my video for fun, never expecting it to reach so many people! Here’s a little video for those of you who prefer to see a treble jig to real irish music💚

Let me get this right. The UK’s most important international ally ‘hates the UK’. I wonder how many people in the UK share that view of @POTUS Biden. Not many I suspect. PM Sunak seemed pleased to see him in Belfast last night.

Another expression of British hostility to Biden, which is a foolish thing. The US does not invite foreign leaders to its inaugurations & US President don’t attend inaugurations in other countries. The First Lady is a big figure and should not be seen as an insult to Britain.

Leaders from across the world are attending today's Coronation of King Charles III. Even the French President is there. Notably absent is Joe Biden, who could not be bothered. What message does this send to America's closest ally? Biden is a petty, arrogant, sneering disgrace.

A wonderful letter from @POTUS Biden to @GIHNYU about his sense of pride in his Irish heritage - “I write to you as a descendant of the Blewitts from County Mayo and the Finnegans of County Louth ..”. You have to love his PS to the letter.

Expect a joyous welcome for @POTUS in the west of Ireland today. People outside of Ireland may see it as hokey, but you need to remember that emigration has been part of Ireland’s national DNA for centuries. It is natural for us to laud the achievements of our global diaspora.

At President Biden's inauguration two weeks ago, @TheAmandaGorman reminded the world of poetry's power to heal. That she is a member of the parish of Brigid, matron Saint of Poets, seems fitting. On #BrigidsDay morning, our Ambassador reads 'The Miracle of Morning' in her honor.
