This afternoon.
Enda Kenny writing in the book of Condolences for the victims of the MH17 airliner crash which was opened yesterday in the Netherlands Embassy, Ballsbridge, Dublin.
They’re never going to understand that.
Inscription anyone?

Sympathies of the Irish people to the people of the Netherlands on this terrible tragedy.
Sorry for your troubles
Apparently the new Minister for the Gaeltacht wrote, “Bhi me ag rothaiocht faoin tuath. Bhi an grian ag taitneamh. Go tobann chonaic me an timpiste bothair.”

Still a step up from Bertie’s “sympaty”.
Did Enda just spell uafásach wrong there? Or is it a location thing?
Yes, he also left out the fada on hÉireann.
There are a few mishtaihks, alright, since you ask, but I didn’t want to say so for fear of appearing to be a begrudging pedantic gayligower. Which I suppose I am. Anyway, fair play to Hinda for symbolic use of Irish, and concurrent criticism for not checking de shpellin furst!
You can get away with more as Gaeilge, that was Bertie’s real mistake!
Let me see if 10 years or so of irish equips me to deal with this.
“I was cycling in the countryside. the sun was shining. suddenly I saw a road accident”
And people say the time was wasted.
no doubt he’ll be heading over to the Palestinian representative after that. Or does he only do crocodile tears for fashionable tragedies.
Helen, do you ever get exhausted being permanently annoyed about EVERYTHING?
no, i like too many things.
Good point Helen.
Maybe he could learn how to attack a target du jour with some opportunistically cynical grandstanding from comments like this.
Fool.
Sorry for being obtuse, can anyone explain the headline to me? Slí Ag Íoc – Way Paying?
“Paying respects”?
Thank you. Turns out it is the Google translation of “paying respects”.
I’m going to hazard a guess that’s it’s a google translate of something but I can’t figure out what.
It’s a monoglot trying to be clever with Google translate
I’m a little more concerned about how he spelled his name
Is that Eneee Kenny?
Anyway I look at it, there appears to be an extra letter in there
