St Patrick's Day: Sinn Féin boycott of celebrations a 'stand against injustice'
First Minister Michelle O'Neill says her decision not to travel to Washington DC for the annual festivities is one of principle.

Well I do sympathise with her. Someone should stand up to that lunatic.
The DUP are claiming that it harms Irish interest in the US.
But I see that as a bollocks argument. Northern Ireland occupys a unique position in the world and enjoys sspecial trading relationships.
Upsetting Trump isnt going to change that.
Anyway we need to appreciate O Neills predicament as a woman. Does she want to spend any time where a group of toxic men and alcohol are present ? I think not.
Imagine Hegseth leering at her over his pint of Guinness. Forgetting her name and grabbing her tits. With Trump grinning on.
She would be safer in Belfast than Washington. Or even Gaza.
