Oh God, I'm cringing....
I was watching a [broken link removed], listeing to Cowen's invite to Obama to see his ancestral home - they don't care about his history making, grassroots-organising-reclaiming-democracy approach or polices - all they are interested in is increased tourism. And now that this song is a virtual hit...sigh..
We still come across as a bunch of peasants. After all that has been achieved here, is this the best we can do?
The challenge: Let's say that Barack were to visit Ireland for 3 days (assuming 2 wars, tensions with Russia and a tanking economy are sorted out).
What would you suggest he see and do that would leave an impression of a modern, confident country, making its mark in the world? (No sniggering now, am serious!)
