Famed historian Tim Pat Coogan confirms he was turned down twice for U.S. visa

Something going on when a man of his standing is being treated like this. Could they really be so concerned at what he might say about something or someone when in the USA. We know the mans no physical threat and most likely carries travel insurance should his age be a factor. lol

Hire an immigration lawyer what a load of bull. You only hire a lawyer when you have been denied a visa or a building permit. Somebody out there in the U.S> does not want Coogan in the states.

Joe Kelsall: What does your post have to do with TPC visa?

Joe. with ancestors like that, would you not put a word in for Tim Pat. lol

Niall. Emigration attorney ???? Ye just go into the Embassy and they help you fill out whatever is required.And you`re embarrassed.

"Dan Rooney of "Immaculate Reception" fame has quite a bit of clout. Mr. Coogan teed off someone high in the political food chain." All of these decisions are controlled by the insular and waspish entrenched state department bureaucracy - they have little respect for ambassadors to minor nations (see their belligerent behavior toward Jean Kennedy Smith as soon as she opened her mouth about the occupied 6). All it probably took was a call from one of their counterparts in the terror state government.

*The earliest traceable ancestor in this country is (Moses) Aaron Senior (1690/1-1736), a wealthy jeweller of Rathbone Place, London, and later of Red Lyon (or Lion) Square, Holborn, London, who was naturalized by Act of Parliament 12 Sep 1723 (Patent Roll 10 Geo 1 part 3 No 11). He had three children, Abraham, Rachel and Henrietta, before he married his second or third wife, Elizabeth Baldrick nee Halsey* in 1727, mother of Nassau Thomas Senior, my ancestor, and Ascanius William Senior. The family tree in my possession refers to him as a 'native of Spain' but this is almost certainly incorrect (I think this was a time when they tried to conceal their Jewish origins)

Oh. It was a holocaust alright and abetted by British economic advisor,Nassau Senior a jew of Spanish extraction, whose father was Aaron Moses Senior.

He filled in the wrong form?!?! How pathetic. So if he needed his house redesigned he would probably do it himself as well and make a balls of it also. If you need a visa, hire an immigration attorney! If you need your house redesigned, hire an architect! The moral of this story is if you want something, go the right way about it, or you will fail. If you just want to see your name in the paper, do something stupid and you will be featured. There are plenty Irish organizations out there at home and abroad to help people who need any kind of advice. This story is frankly embarrassing.

All this Gobshite Talk. People Just do not understand.Rooney has nothing to do with it.Grow Up.

troika 2 are left shivering in fear

holocaust

Try calling it what it was, Tim Pat, it wasn't a famine but a holocaust

Dan Rooney of "Immaculate Reception" fame has quite a bit of clout. Mr. Coogan teed off someone high in the political food chain.

You don't mention for what kind of a visa TPC applied. He can always get a tourist visa and stay 3 months.
