It was a pleasure to welcome King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands to @MansionHouseDub this morning. We had a good discussion on our shared history and future. #NLIrl #OranjeAndGreen 🇮🇪🇳🇱 pic.twitter.com/pjSLL345rd

The Dublin Mayor dressed in a medieval regal outfit greeting a Dutch royal family in normal clothes. Seriously, it's time to dump the medieval chain in the Liffey. #GetReal #GrowUpDublin #DirectlyElectedMayor https://t.co/87keMXxSek

Aidan needs to take a holiday if this is setting him off.
Aidan is an assistant professor in UCD so he’s probably already on his lengthy holliers.
He’s a twit

In fairness, most modern royals are an extension of their national commercial interests, but three days of this?

Mr Regan’s tweet is factually incorrect.
The Great Chain of Office dates from 1698, not the Medieval period.
It was presented to Dublin by the Dutch born William III, and hence features his portrait.
It is most appropriate it was worn during a visit by the Dutch king and queen!
The Dutch have feck all land, yet are now the largest producer of tomatoes in Europe. They also have good coffee shops. Perhaps we might learn a thing or two from them.
That was very interesting and enlightening, Dude.
The Dude is incorrect about his veg

Right about the coffee shops!
So a birra Dutch gold for the mayor – what harm?
Does the Queem have Michael D’s flying saucer on her noggin?
Who are the boys with the caps?
Firemen
The Dutch royal family are from the House of Nassau. Nassau St around the corner from the Mansion House is called after them.
