New Irish Prime Minister set for White House on St. Pat’s Day

Just when the world was starting to understand the Irish word Taoiseach, it seems Enda Kenny doesn't like it. Sad, really, the Irish language means more to me than a bowl of shamrocks!

why be negative about something thats positive and good.there is enough negative in the world.

Edna Kenny you should coose your friends more carefully. I would not ever want to visit this president

This is so embarrassing, I am always hoping this tradition will end, but not yet. What the hell does the leader of the world's most powerful nation do with a bowl of shamrock? What does an Irish leader have to say to such a leader - nothing - except suck up! Ireland has been a member of the EU for almost 30 years, it's time it started acting like a mature, independent state. It could stop allowing Irish airports to be used for the cause of war, i.e. stop violating OUR OWN constitution!

The clover should be fedexed and given to King to present. Save a bunch to give to bondholders like Chelsea's oligarch owner. They know how to suck blood from turnips.

Wish the comments were really comments and not just a vulgar slagging match between antoman and sirpeter. As for Loyal Citizen's comment, she/he should note that the Taoiseach is invited to the White House every year by the US President. The Taoiseach does not invite himself.

Patricks bridge*lol,for a sec there I thought we'd moved.

Sirpeter-ah sure half these bast*rds are having such a good time working and getting laid that they've forgotten about us old eejits and our dogs on Patricks street.

antoman..I keep saying that...Stupid bast*rds..It's An Taoiseach...JAMES O'BRIEN..Do it again and I'm going to throw the fu*ks into ya..If this is a site about all things Irish...Then use the correct terminology. Ireland doesn't have a prime minister...Address our leader in the correct way...An Taoiseach...Is that to much to ask?

Quit anglicizing the office by calling him prime minister.Its Taoiseach.Always has been and always will be.You speed up the demise of our native language by using english/french labels.

Its Taoiseach not prime minister.

Nothing like delusions of grandeur from dopey Irish Politicians. Always pretending to be world leaders.
