For weeks before the Bush visit the government and the mdia were going on about the need for extensive security for the Bush visit.

I am outlining some of my experience of the security around Shannon ... read full story / add a comment

The presidential re-election visit to Ireland of the world’s most hated man was a spectacular failure for Bush. As importantly, the extravaganza backfired on the Irish government. Bertie Ahern played the part of a lapdog to great affect, and nobody in Ireland liked it.

The Carol Coleman interview with Bush allowed us all to witness the Texan cowboy squirm when confronted with his unpopularity amongst the Irish. ... read full story / add a comment
