So, PM rushes to be photographed with Trump and Erdogan but won’t find time to speak to Irish Dail. Has No.10 completely lost the plot?

Right now.
The UK Prime Minister Theresa May delivers her speech on Brexit.
UPDATE: Ms May’s speech in full:
A little over six months ago, the British people voted for change.
They voted to shape a brighter future for our country.
They voted to leave the European Union and embrace the world.
“We have a female prime minister here in the UK. I actually really like her and think she’s wonderful,” said the singer “I think it’s the best thing that’s happened to us in a long time. She’s a very intelligent woman but I don’t see much to fear. I will say it is great to have a woman in charge of the country. She’s very sensible and I think that’s a good thing at this point in time.”

Update:
We both recognised that Ireland is the only EU Member State that shares a land border with the UK. We are in agreement that we don’t wish to see any return to the borders of the past on the island of Ireland.
Today’s meeting also gave us the opportunity to have a broader discussion on the common issues of concern in the context of the referendum result such as our close trading relationship and the benefits of the Common Travel Area.
For our part, we have already made very clear our view Ireland is very much committed to staying in the EU. We want the upcoming negotiation process to end with a prosperous and outward-looking UK which retains a close relationship with the EU. This is in all of our interests.

I was disappointed to see The Irish Times describe Theresa May as a “vicar’s daughter” in the headline “Tough and diligent vicar’s daughter with moral bent”. I have often seen Margaret Thatcher described as a “grocer’s daughter”. It seems female political leaders are always someone’s daughter. Never, however, have I seen David Cameron described as a “stockbroker’s son” or Tony Blair as a “barrister’s son”.
