Ireland appoints its first ever female ambassador to the United States

wonder if this one is like the two Maries who made out like bandits before her. Wonder if she's aware of Ireland's bad old days like - Cromwell drove Irish men and women, as threats to his new government, from their homes into the relatively barren and inhospitable province of Connaught. He created a system of arresting people for terribly minor infractions and forcing them onto ships headed to the Caribbean, providing the British planters there with "indentured laborers". Often times they atually just 'captured' the Irish for no reason at all. Did you know about Irish slavery? It seems that Irish slavery has escaped many texts, and tcherefore the entire education of many. Surprised to learn that there were Irish Slaves in the Caribbean?

Anne Anderson, congratulations and welcome to our country (outside the UN). Wishing you every success and a wonderful experience.
