Dana offers to renounce US citizenship in latest Presidential row

Yeah BARNEYKX, this salary is more than the president of the United States gets, a person who technically could annihilate half the world at fifteen minutes notice. In contrast, the person who occupies the Aras can't scratch their liatroidi without first getting the permission of the government. I wou;d be curious to see a breakdown of the expenses. The Irish presidency is an expensive joke and should be abolished.

I read in today's Sunday Independent that the Dept of Finance confirmed the 2010 President's salary as 325k and expenses paid to her in 2010 as 317k. Was she paying for aviation fuel or what! THATS WHAT DANAS AFTER THE DOUGH

1. There is no mechanism for renouncing US citizenship. 2. Despite widespread statements to the contrary, *naturalized* American citizens may not hold dual citizenship: They swear an oath of allegiance to the US and explicitly renounce former citizenship; the oath contains no loopholes. 3. Rosemary Scallon was formerly British and Irish, but she swore the oath and now is neither; she is American only. 4. She will not be elected president of Ireland but if she were, it would create a constitutional crisis because only Irish citizens can be president and any Irish citizen could challenge the election result in court based on Scallon's non-Irish nationality. 4. Eamon de Valera had dual citizenship because he was *born* in the US; he was not naturalized. 5. Rosemary Scallon made her choice and took the oath: Legally, she is no longer an Irish woman. The matter is clear: Read the oath yourself.

Don't know much about her, but, anyone that renounces their U. S. citizenship without a bit of a fight, I don't believe to be for the people.

Creakygate you just have it in for Dana because she pipped the Brits in the Eurovision that year.Is Mary Hopkin still knocking I wonder? *Sings* Knock!! Knock!! whose theeere?!!!Second but no cigar. Tee-hee

Gobs: Go? ~ She already a goner! What a shyster! ~ Not even the Pope can't save her plan for holey Ireland now!

"Dev" had dual citizenship, fer Christ's sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you imagine the headlines in papers across the USA if she were to renounce her US citizenship? Today she threatened that if prying into her family life continued, she would pull out of the 'race'. GO Dana GO,
