Meanwhile Ireland is basically dependant on the Royal Navy. The An tSeirbhís Chabhlaigh doesn't have any minesweepers to loan America after they, with spectacularly bad timing, scrapped all of theirs during critical talks with Iran. So what the <deleted> were the Irish doing at the White House, except to remind the Americans about the Irish Tiger Economy that did well from US companies like Medtronic, movin g their HQs to the Emerald Isle. The irony of course was the Irish government only existed because of terrorism. As recent as the 1970s, members of the Irish government were accused of gun running for muderous Irish terrorists, who received funding from the United States, to purchase arms from the Warsaw Pact and Libya.
