Who cares what Ireland thinks on any of these matters. It’s a price for being neutral. stfu. We are an irrelevance

This will trigger the perpetually outraged

It’s a shame that this even needs to be said.

All these words to say nothing.
Realistically Ireland won’t do anything anyway, even if US annexed Greenland. We are too dependant on the US and multinationals.

This is my favourite kind of government announcement. Ukraine, Venezuela etc.
*Obviously bad thing happens*
Irish government: “like everyone else has already said, this is bad”
Like I understand the need, because if the state doesn’t comment it will look like an endorsement, but it’s still very silly.

Yeh but they’ll still do what every the f they want and won’t be held accountable. This shit is lip service

But Venezuela can go fuck itself aye? Where is the soverign international law there?

Trump must truly be terrified now that Helen is on the case

It’s scary how much Trump can do without even talking too much to the congress and senate. Goes to show how much the US actually resembles and XVIII century constitutional monarchy. The other presidents were simply taking it easy.

If this shit kicks off we close Shannon airport right?……right?…

We live in really strange times. Will it ever abate or is this just the way of the world going forward now? Are republicans going to run on a mandate over annexing countries going forward?

Not like we could stop the US invading anywhere

What a whimpering pathetic attempt at doing anything.

Monitoring the situation. So weak. Better off just saying nothing at all

Trump could have just as easily decided Ireland was strategically important to the USA. He still might. Appeasing him is not the way.

Stellar work from the Minister in this ministerial role as well.

Well, I hope if anyone ever attacks Ireland, there’s some good brave souls out there to…. monitor the situation.

The late Sir Humphrey Appleby would be impressed. So many words, so little said.

Phew. At least this was a measured response and there was no mention of Eurovision.

International law is firmly in the toilet at this stage. Maybe it always was. Let’s face it might is right is the only true concept in situations like this.

I would have preferred if she had of done one of those “come out and fight me shiteinabucket” kinda diss vids,,,
but I suppose we haven’t stooped to America’s level yet.

Appeasement didn’t work before the last one.
In response Europe should be taking a financial nuke approach, nationalize key strategic companies such as American pharma and companies of strategic value like Intel.

“Continue to monitor the situation” that’s pretty much the stand from EU countries when it comes to the stupidity of Trump and US. Why not grow some balls and do something about it 🤦♂️

We’re monitoring the shit out of the world right now
Oh thank God!! For a second there I was worried they weren’t going to continue to monitor the situation, but at least now we can relax and be proud of our proactive government

I think it’s time we move McEntee to minister for literally anything else if we are about to enter tremulous times

Focussed. Focused?
Both seemingly grammatically correct!

I would much rather see them left-justify the text. The uneven word spacing does nothing for me.

I remember some right winger from the States yelling at me in 2016, saying these drastic scenarios would never happen because there’s checks and balances. “He couldn’t do anything like that”. Wonder what that guy would say now
