Ludicrous, birth cert-baiting, on-off Presidential candidate Donald Trump was asked about Ireland on Fox News’ breakfast show, ‘Fox and Friends’, yesterday.

And ruined any chance he ever had of building a golf course here.

Brian Kilmeade (presenter): “They [Ireland] need some money. They got to pay back their bills, but it’s really a steep hill to climb. Should we help out Ireland?”

Donald Trump: “No. I think Germany should help out Ireland. The Germans have a lot of money. They’re selling us Mercedes, lots of cars all over the place. I don’t think we should help out Ireland. You know they went a different system, they happen to be part of something else. They’re not part of the dollar. And Germany’s in charge over there. And yet we go over there and and we want to bail them out?!”

Enda Kenny’s Introduction To President Obama at College Green

“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
You ask, what is our policy? I can say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. Why? Because the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
For I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land.  You see, some look at things that are, and ask why. I dream of things that never were and ask why not?

Furthermore, I had a dream.

Ladies and gentlemen, will you please be upstanding for our great friend, President Barack Obama.”

[Loud Applause]

Declan Taite of FGS was appointed last Tuesday to the Italian Quarter on Ormond Quay in Dublin city centre, the Behan Square apartment complex on Russell St near Croke Park, and to development land in Rathgar, Dublin 6.

All the assets were under the control of Mr Wallace’s main development company, M&J Wallace Ltd. It is understood that ACC Bank is owed €20m, and had fixed charges over the specific assets in question.
