President Obama's Visit To Ireland

Me in Moneygall with Obama's cardboard cut out!!


What a memorable day for everyone Irish, American and more importantly from Moneygall.

After spending over a half an hour in the teeny-tiny town of Moneygall today Obama addressed the nation in a powerful and inspiration speech. As well as telling us that the youth of Ireland are the most educated and entrepreneurial in the world, he ended the speech on the note "Is Feidir Linn", yes we can.

The last week is sure to be one of the most symbolic in Irish history. To claim that our small island has changed the world with our positivity and intelligence is an amazing sentiment.

Obama was so smooth today, he really is just awesome, and it's clear from the 40,000 people that showed up to support him in College Green that he has a massive influence on our country and on our future prospects.

Obama downed his pint like a true Irishman

So I would like to say thank you Obama for cheering up the Irish, putting some hope back into our lives...and having a pint of Guinness in Ollie Hayes' Pub!


PS!!

I met many of the locals in Moneygall, and I have to say an event like this couldn't have happened to nicer people. The young and the old gathered together over the last few months to make this monumental day perfect for Obama and the rest of the country.
